those obversations for which at least one of the above variables takes
value of 0.
2) Now, if we want to KEEP those obersvations for which at least one of
the variables w05100, w05200, ....,w09900 takes value of 0. How to do
that?

Nick Cox gave a suggestion and some comments. Here is another
suggestion. I assume that the variables w05000-w10000 are in sequence in
the dataset (no intervening variables):
egen x=anymatch(w05100-w10000) , values(0)
drop if x==1
and (2):
keep if x==1
