Group the number following this patterns: 1^{5} + 99^{5} , 2^{5} + 98^{5} , 3^{5} + 97^{5}, we can see that the sums of these sub-groups always ends with 0. We can reach the conclusion that the grand total has the same last digit: 0

It means the last digit of 1 5 + ..... + 9 9 5 is same as 1 + 2 +....+99
Yes I also observed the pattern!!
@Manish Mayank Nice observation!
Yes... exactly. :) :D

It seems that since 1^5 + 99^5, 2^5 + 98^5,... are each divisible by 100 so their sum is is divisible by 100, so the last 2 digits must be zeros!!!

I found that for any whole no. a , the last digit of a 5 is the last digit of a.
