How many three-digit positive integers $N$ satisfy the following properties?

  • The number $N$ is divisible by $7$.
  • The number formed by reversing the digits of $N$ is divisble by $5$.


Solution 1

Multiples of 5 always end in 0 or 5 and since it is a three digit number, it cannot start with 0. All possibilities have to be in the range from 7 x 72 to 7 x 85 inclusive. 85 - 72 + 1 = 14 (B).
