So, we have \(N=100(x) + 1,000(y) + 10(z) => 10(100y+10x+z)\)

Noe that any integer multiplied by 10 will have its units digit equal to 0. So, the correct answer is A.

Correct answer: A

Hope this helps!

We have:

\(10\cdot z = z0, 100\cdot x = x00, 1000\cdot y = y000\)

Sum will be \(y000 + x00 + z0 = yxz0\)

So, units' digit will be \(0\).

Therefore, A
