Answer & Solution
Correct Answer:
Option
C
$$\eqalign{
& {\left( {2153} \right)^{167}} \cr
& {\text{unit digit = }}{{\text{3}}^{167}} \cr
& {\text{unit digit }} \cr
& {{\text{3}}^1} \to {\text{3}} \to {\text{3}} \cr
& {{\text{3}}^2} \to 9 \to 9 \cr
& {{\text{3}}^3} \to 27 \to 7 \cr
& {{\text{3}}^4} \to 81 \to 1 \cr} $$
This cycle will continue
⇒ divide the power of 3 by 4
$$\eqalign{ & \frac{{167}}{4} \Rightarrow {\text{remainder is 3}} \cr & {{\text{3}}^3} \Rightarrow 7 \cr & {\text{unit digit = }}1 \times 7 = {\text{ }}7 \cr} $$
