There maybe an easier way of doing it, but I don't know of any!.

 

50 C 2 =1,225 number of ways of picking 2 distinct numbers out of 50. This gives rise to 1225 sums and 1225 products. You multiply their sums by their products and you get 1225 products.

 

1225 products mod 5 ==4. ANY number that ends in 4 or 9 is one LESS than a multiple of 5. Out of 1225 such numbers, my computer lists the following integers:

 

(49, 99, 299, 364, 544, 684, 684, 779, 1029, 1144, 1144, 1334, 1449, 1449, 1584, 1584, 1584, 2184, 2184, 2184, 2184, 2349, 2604, 2744, 2744, 3844, 4224, 4224, 4224, 4224, 4719, 4884, 5304, 5304, 5304, 6624, 6624, 7104, 7104, 7104, 7104, 7714, 7904, 7904, 8424, 8424, 8619, 9009, 9009, 10619, 10824, 10824, 10824, 10824, 11424, 11424, 11844, 12384, 12384, 12384, 12384, 12384, 13464, 13464, 16744, 16744, 17484, 17719, 18189, 18424, 19344, 19584, 19584, 20064, 20064, 21609, 24684, 25194, 25194, 25704, 25704, 25704, 26364, 26624, 26884, 27144, 27404, 27664, 27664, 29574, 31104, 31104, 31104, 36064, 36064, 38019, 38304, 38304, 38304, 38304, 38874, 39729, 40774, 41354, 42224, 43424, 43424, 43719, 44604, 44604, 44604, 49654, 49959, 51894, 55944, 56259, 56889, 59584, 59904, 59904, 65274, 65934, 66924, 69144, 71944, 72964, 73304, 73984, 77004, 78039, 84064, 84419, 85484, 85839, 87984, 88704, 89424, 89784, 91834, 94024, 95904, 97384, 98124, 105944, 106704, 111804, 112189, 116064, 121344, 129519, 137104, 156864, 161994, 162864, 164604, 187824, 193844, 194304, 228144) >>Total = 159 such numbers. Therefore, the probability is:159 / 1225 =12.98%
