a) first digit is 2

Explanation:

It is said that last digit is 1.

Since the value of second digit has a value exactly twice that of the first digit, the second digit must be 4 and the first digit must be 2 (There are no other two numbers that are multiple of 2).

Since the value of the third digit is less than the value of the fifth digit, the third digit must be 0 (fifth digit is 1) and forth digit must be 3.

The code is: 2 4 0 3 1
