PUZZLE-16

FIND OUT THE LAST DIGIT IN THE FOLLOWING MATHEMATICAL OPERATION




ANSWER : 1
SOLUTION :

        Procedure to be followed to find last digit for a number like (xyz)n

First divide power n with 4.
If 0 is remainder,
                  If z=even; last digit=6;
                  If z=odd(except 5); last digit =1;
                  If z=5; for all n values last digit=5;
If 1 is remainder then last digit is z1 ;
If 2 is remainder then last digit is z2 ;
If 3 is remainder then last digit is z3 ;
In above problem 1999/4 gives remainder 3,
so last digit in first number is 73
last digit in second number is 13
last digit in last number is 73
so answer =  73 + 13 -73 = 1
