As the last digit of \mathrm{6^{m}, m \in \mathbf{N}} is \mathrm{6,6^{m}+9^{n}} will be divisible by 5 if the unit's digit of \mathrm{9^{n}}  is 4 or 9. This is possible when \mathrm{n} is odd.

\mathrm{\therefore \quad}  required number of ordered pairs \mathrm{=50 \times 25=1250}\mathrm{=50 \times 25=1250}.
