I believe that the problem should read as follows:
Multiples of 10 less than 60 are 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50.
Total options = 5.
The correct answer is B.
An integer divisible by 5 and an even number is divisible by both 5 and 2 and thus is a MULTIPLE OF 10.talaangoshtari wrote:How many positive integers less than 60 are equal to the product of a positive multiple of 5 and an even number?

For a number to be both a multiple of 5 and an even number, it has to be both a multiple of 5 and 2.talaangoshtari wrote:How many positive integers less than 60 are equal to the product of a positive multiple of (5) and an even number?

Or a multiple of 10.
Positive integers less than 60 that are multiple of 10 are:
10, 20, 30, 40, 50
Hence the answer is B

is the question surely to be multiple of 5 & even number.
then it needs to be multiple of 5 & 2 -- 10,20,30,40,50
answer is 5
then it needs to be multiple of 5 & 2 -- 10,20,30,40,50
answer is 5
