Unit digit in $${\left( {264} \right)^{102}} + {\left( {264} \right)^{103}}$$    is :

A. 0

B. 4

C. 6

D. 8

Answer: Option A

Solution(By Examveda Team)

$${\left( {264} \right)^{102}} + {\left( {264} \right)^{103}}$$
unit digit
$$\eqalign{ & {{\text{4}}^1} \to 4 \to 4 \cr & {4^2} \to 16 \to 6 \cr & {4^3} \to 64 \to 4 \cr} $$
Rule: When 4 has odd power, then unit digit is 4
When 4 has even power, then unit digit is 6

$$\eqalign{ & {\left( {264} \right)^{102}} + {\left( {264} \right)^{103}} \cr & \,\,\,\,\,\, \downarrow \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, \downarrow \cr & \,\,\,\,{4^{102}}\,\,\,\,\,\,\, + \,\,\,\,\,\,{4^{103}} \cr} $$
$${\text{unit digit}} = 6 + 4 = 10 \to 0$$
    (even power)   (odd power)

$$\eqalign{ & {\bf{Alternate}} \cr & \Rightarrow {\left( {264} \right)^{102}} + {\left( {264} \right)^{103}} \cr & \Rightarrow {\left( {264} \right)^{102}} + \left( {1 + 264} \right) \cr & \Rightarrow {\left( {264} \right)^{102}} + 265 \cr & {\text{Multiple of }}5\,\,{\text{and }}2 \cr & {\text{So}},{\text{unit digit is }}0 \cr} $$
