There are 5 even digits and 5 odd digits.
So if you allow repetition, there are 5 ways to select the first digit. For each of those ways there are 5 ways to select the second digit. For each of those 25 ways there are 5 ways to select the third digit.
So with repetition
If repetion not allowed, there are 5 ways to select the first digit. For each of those ways, since you don't allow repetition, there are only 4 ways to select the second digit, and then 3 ways to select the 3rd digit. The 4th digit is now even, so we again have 5 ways, and the last is only 4 ways:
