Problem 2
Find the number of five-digit positive integers, 
, that satisfy the following conditions:
-
(a) the number
is divisible by 
-
(b) the first and last digits of
are equal, and
-
(c) the sum of the digits of
is divisible by 
Solution 1
The number takes a form of 
, in which 
. Let 
and 
be arbitrary digits. For each pair of 
, there are exactly two values of 
that satisfy the condition of . Therefore, the answer is 
Solution 2
For a number to be divisible by 
, the last digit of the number must be or 
. However, since the first digit is the same as the last one, the last (and first) digits can not be , so the number must be in the form 
, where 
is divisible by 5 Since there is a 
chance that sum of digits of a randomly selected positive integer is divisible by , This gives us a answer of
