We can count the number of digits to arrive at the answer
Between 0 and 99
The smallest digit = 5
5, 15, 25, 35, 45 ➾ 5 numbers
50 to 50 ➾ 10 numbers
65, 75, 85, 95 ➾ 4 numbers
Hence, between 0 and 99, we have 19 numbers that have atleast one digit as 5.
The same pattern will repeat between 100 and 199; 200 and 299; 300 and 399; 400 and 499
Hence, number of digits between 0 and 499 that have atleast one digit as 5 ➾ 19 * 5 = 95
The 96th number ➾ 500
The 97th number ➾ 501

Looking at the options, looks like we need to count numbers less than 500 which has atleast one digit as 5,
Numbers with only second digit as 5 = 5*1*9 (First digit can be 0 to 4, Second digit would be 5, Third digit cannot be 5)
Similarly numbers with only third digit as 5 = 5*9*1 (First digit can be 0 to 4, Second digit cannot be 5, Third digit would be 5)
Numbers with both second and third digits as 5 = 5*1*1
Total numbers less than 500 with atleast one digit as 5 = 45 + 45 + 5 = 95
96th digit => 500
97th digit => 501
Ans: C
Numbers with only second digit as 5 = 5*1*9 (First digit can be 0 to 4, Second digit would be 5, Third digit cannot be 5)
Similarly numbers with only third digit as 5 = 5*9*1 (First digit can be 0 to 4, Second digit cannot be 5, Third digit would be 5)
Numbers with both second and third digits as 5 = 5*1*1
Total numbers less than 500 with atleast one digit as 5 = 45 + 45 + 5 = 95
96th digit => 500
97th digit => 501
Ans: C
