        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 ;
Keep visiting for problems like this.
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

PUZZLE-11



ANSWER : 4 numbers, they are 32,46,96,69.
SOLUTION:
Let 2 digits of number are x,y.
The given condition is
x+y=5(x-y);
x+y=5x-5y;
4x=6y;
x/y=3/2:
from the above condition we can get following pairs.
(x=3,y=2);(x=6,y=4);(x=9,y=6);
combinations of above pairs are 32,23,64,46,96,69.
in those numbers 64 is perfect square, 23 is prime number.
so the 2-digit numbers are 32,46,96,69.

PUZZLE-10

FIND THE WHOLE NUMBER 


ANSWER : (2^96-1)
SOLUTION : 

let x=2^32;
so (2^32+1)=(x+1);
Given that (x+1) is divided by whole number.
in option d,
 (2^96)=(2^32)^3=x^3;
(x^3+1)=(x+1)(x^2-(x*1)+1);
it is also divided by whole number because it has term (x+1) in it.
