In order for a number to be evenly divisible by 15, 20 and 25 it must be divisible by their least common multiple (LCM).
The prime factorizations of the given numbers are 3*5, 2*2*5 and 5*5, respectively. The LCM is 2*2*3*5*5 which equals 300.
Finally the smallest 5 digit number divisible by 300 is found by dividing the smallest 5 digit number (i.e., 10,000) by 300 and adding 300 minus the remainder. That is, 10,000/300 = 33R100. So the answer is 10,000 + (300–100) = 10,200.

Decompose each into prime factors.
20 = 2*2*5
25 = 5*5
30 = 2*3*5
Lowest common multiple is then
2*2*3*5*5 = 300
Now you need the lowest number so that
300 * N >= 10000
then
N >= 10000/300
N > 33.3…
Being N an integer, N has to be 34.
300 * 34 = 10200
