If the route patterns 5XXX, 51XX, 513X and 5134 exist within a call route database, which pattern would be matched if the dialed number was 5324?

Explanation

For dialed number 5324: 5XXX matches (starts with 5, any digits in positions 2-4), 51XX does NOT match (second digit is 3, not 1), 513X does NOT match (second digit is 3, not 1), and 5134 does NOT match. Only 5XXX satisfies all digit positions. Since it is the only matching pattern, 5XXX is selected. This contrasts with Question 5 where a more specific pattern existed.
