• here we need to take common difference of 1,2,3,4..
  e.g in 123
  common difference is 2-1=1 and 3-2=1
  again with common difference 2
  a new number is 135
  so there are 4 such numbers with starting digit 1
  now with starting digit 2 we can proceed the same way but we need to remember that the number must be in increasing order and Within 1 to 9...
