Problem 2

Find the number of five-digit positive integers, $n$, that satisfy the following conditions:

    (a) the number $n$ is divisible by $5,$
    (b) the first and last digits of $n$ are equal, and
    (c) the sum of the digits of $n$ is divisible by $5.$


Solution

The number takes a form of $5\text{x,y,z}5$, in which $5|x+y+z$. Let $x$ and $y$ be arbitrary digits. For each pair of $x,y$, there are exactly two values of $z$ that satisfy the condition of $5|x+y+z$. Therefore, the answer is $10\times10\times2=\boxed{200}$
