1212120000
1212120011
1212121010

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

Trick: when multiplying with \begin{aligned} 5^n
\end{aligned} then put n zeros to the right of multiplicand and divide the number with \begin{aligned} 2^n
\end{aligned}
So using this we can solve this question in much less
time.
\begin{aligned} 1939392 \times 5^4 = \frac {19393920000}{16} = 1212120000
