There were 3 columns of digits.

1st column = 366.
2nd column = 366-9 = 357 (i.e 2nd column numbers start from end of number 9).
3rd column = 366-99 = 267 (i.e 3rd column numbers Start from end of number 99).

Hence answer will be 366+357+267= 990.

Simply: 189+ (366-99) *3= 990.

No @Sadam.

Book has only 366 pages.

@Shweta.

Solution:
1-9 Pages = 9 Digits.
10-99 Pages = 90*2 = 180 Digits.
100-999 Pages = 899 * 3 = 2697 Pages.
1000-1075 Pages = 75 * 4 = 300 Digits.
Hence for 1075 Pages total digits are (9 + 180 + 2697 + 300) = 3186.

So, total pages for 3186 digits are 1075 Pages.
