The product of the two $99$ -digit numbers

$303,030,303,...,030,303$ and $505,050,505,...,050,505$

has thousands digit $A$ and units digit $B$ . What is the sum of $A$ and $B$ ?

$\mathrm{(A)}\ 3 \qquad \mathrm{(B)}\ 5 \qquad \mathrm{(C)}\ 6 \qquad \mathrm{(D)}\ 8 \qquad \mathrm{(E)}\ 10$

$303\times505=153015$

The ones digit plus thousands digit is $5+3=8$ .

$30303\times50505=1530453015$

Note that the ones and thousands digits are, added together, $8$ . (and so on...) So the answer is $\boxed{D}$ $(8)$ .
