~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

In all, there are 999 - 99 = 900 three-digit numbers.

The number of those three-digit numbers that are multiples of 5, is 900%2F5 = 180.

Half of them are multiple of 10, i.e. 180%2F2 = 90.

The other half are those three-digit integers that are multiples of 5, but not multiples of 10.

Answer. There are 90 three-digit integers that are multiples of 5, but not multiples of 10. Option A)
