When 3305 is multiplied with any odd one digit integer, the product will be an integer with unit's digit 5. But 3305*1 = 3305, a 4-digit integer.

When 3305 is multiplied with any odd one digit integer greater than 1 (3, 5, 7, and 9), the product will be an 5-digit integer with unit's digit 5.

Hence, there are four possible values for x.
And for each x there will be only one unique value of y.

Hence, four (x, y) are possible.
