2 2999 × 5 3002 = 5 3 ( 2 × 5 ) 2999 = 125 × 1 0 2999 = 125 00000 00000 Number of 0s = 2999 \begin{aligned} 2^{2999} \times 5^{3002} & = 5^3 (2 \times 5)^{2999} \\ & = 125 \times 10^{2999} \\ & = 125\underbrace{00000 \cdots 00000}_{\text{Number of 0s}=2999} \end{aligned}

Therefore the sum of digits is 1 + 2 + 5 = 8 1+2+5 = \boxed 8 .

2²⁹⁹⁹ x 5³⁰⁰²

= 2²⁹⁹⁹ x 5²⁹⁹⁹ x 5³

= (2 x 5)²⁹⁹⁹ x 5³

= (10)²⁹⁹⁹ x 125

= 12500...00 ( The '...' represents the rest zeroes)

Sum of digits = 1+2+5+0+..+0

= 8
