A palindrome number is the same either read from left to right or right to left, for example, ^@ 121. ^@ How many ^@ 5-^@digit palindrome numbers are there altogether^@?^@


Answer:

^@ 900 ^@

Step by Step Explanation:
  1. We need to find the total number of ^@ 5-^@ digit palindrome numbers.
  2. ^@ 10 ^@ digits ^@(0, 1, 2, \ldots, 9)^@ can be used to fill in the places in the number.
    The first digit cannot be zero in order to make it a ^@ 5 ^@ digit number.
    Therefore, We have ^@ 9 ^@ choices for the first place.
    For the ^@2^{ nd }^@ and the ^@3^{ rd }^@ place, we have ^@ 10 ^@ choices each.
  3. For a ^@ 5-^@digit number to be a palindrome number the ^@1^{ st }^@ and the ^@5^{ th }^@ , the ^@2^{ nd }^@ and the ^@4^{ th }^@ digit of the number needs to be the same.
    Therefore, the total number of ^@ 5 ^@ digit palindrome numbers ^@ = 9 \times 10 \times 10 = 900 ^@
  4. Hence, there are ^@ 900 ^@ ^@ \space 5-^@digit palindrome numbers altogether.
