The definition of even and odd covers all integers such that : (a) Any number which, when divided by 2, leaves a remainder 0 is EVEN. (b) Any number which, when divided by 2, leaves a remainder 1 is ODD. Thus 0, being an integer and satisfying condition (a), is an EVEN number.

I guess the easier way to do this would be. 400 numbers between - 200 & 600 Out of which half would be even, half odd. Number of odd = 200. Of this.. the one with even tenth digit would be half again. hence 100.

This has got nothing to do with the question, however according to the Sum formula aren't there 399 numbers between 200 and 600, i.e. 599-201 = 398 + 1 = 399????
