It works if m * n when the numbers in m > n and n = any number of 9's sequence.

1) count number of 9's in n.
2) add those many 0's in the m number.
3) subtract the original number.

eg> 72519 * 9999.
m=5 , n = 4 thus m>n.
721590000-72519= 725117481.

This trick always works if m * n when the numbers in m > n and n = any number of 9's sequence.

1) Count number of 9's in n.
2) Add those many 0's in the m number.
3) Subtract the original number.

eg> 72519 * 9999.
m=5 , n = 4 thus m>n.
721590000-72519= 725117481.

7 + 2 + 5 + 1 + 9 = 24 again 2 + 4=6
9 + 9 + 9 + 9 = 36 again 3 + 6 =9
Given =72519 * 9999 = 9 * 6 = 54 sum of 5 + 4= 9

Now find the sum of the digits in the given option
A)7 + 2 + 5 + 1 + 1 + 7 + 4 + 8 + 1 = 9,
Similarly for
B)4
C)5
D)8
So, option A is the correct answer. Hope my answer is useful.

@All.

The best short trick to multiply any digit with 99,999,999,99999999,..


Example;
33 * 99 = 33 -1 || 9-3 || 10-3 => 3267.
237 * 999 = 237-1 || 9-2 || 9-3 || 10 - 7 (10 - last digit) => 236763.

It is much easier if we find the sum of the digits. Only opt A's Digits' sum is divisible by 9.

So, that's the answer.
