Answer

The number is a 5-digit number with all five digits different and 5 at the ten's place.

The number is of the form _ _ _ 5 _.

For the greatest 5-digit number, fill the remaining places with the largest distinct digits other than 5. Use 9 at ten thousands, 8 at thousands, 7 at hundreds and 6 at units.

Greatest 5-digit number = 98,756.

For the smallest 5-digit number, the ten thousand's place cannot be 0. Place 1 (smallest non-zero, ≠ 5) at ten thousands, 0 at thousands, 2 at hundreds, 5 at tens and 3 at units.

Smallest 5-digit number = 10,253.

Hence, the greatest 5-digit number is 98,756 and the smallest 5-digit number is 10,253.
