mera khud hi gol hai...kuch pata nhi rehta...mai aajkal 1-2 attempt kam kar ke har question pe 15-20 second jyada spend karta hun...thodi accuracy improve hui hai

I've also started with TIME sectionals:

QADI advanced #3: 70 (24-2)

VALR advanced #2: 53(20-7)

how to find the last digit/last 2 digits in case we have the number of form a^b! eg (13)^103!

@@abhi_14

I might not be the intended audience for your question, but felt like answering, so kindly bear with me.. :)
Look, we solve last digit/last 2 digit qsns based on cyclicity of nos...
Last digit qsns could be easily solved by considering the cyclicity of the no N (Cosider qsn of the format N^(abc)! .
A bigger factorial will always be a multiple of 4 and a cyclicity of 4 will always give you result for the last digit. (As abc!= abc*(abc-1)*.....*5*4*3*2*1 ).
So the power will be of the form 4k. (ie abc!=4k or 103!=4k in our case)
Ultimately the qsn will boil down to last digit of N^4k..
Which in our case is 13^4k..
Since 13^4 gives unit digit 1*(3*3*3*3=9*9=81= 1 unit digit), so 13^4k will also give unit digit 1.
Extend the same logic to other qsns..

Now coming to the last 2 digits, remember that we solve last 2 digits of N^x by using last 2 digits of N and getting some pattern which repeats due to power on N..

e.g. last 2 digits of 211^321 = last 2 digits of 11^321... which could be easily solved by using binomial theorem..

Coming to your qsn of last 2 digits of 13^103!..

Remember that last 2 digits of 13^4=61

Now 103! will have 25+5+1 = 31 no of 0's..
So 103! = ...................000000000 31 times..
Even if we write 103! as (4 * Something ) that something will contain 29 zeros as 4*25 =100 which will add to the existing no of zeroes in 103!.

So ultimately our qsn becomes last 2 digits of 13^(4*xyzvw...000000...000 29 zeroes), which is nothing else but 61^(xyzvw...000000...000 29 zeroes) which will give 01 as last 2 digits as 61^ (xyzvw...000000...000 29 zeroes) = (60+1)^(xyzvw...000000...000 29 zeroes) = higher powers of 60 + 60*(xyzvw...000000...000 29 zeroes) + 1*1. [ Expanded through binomial theorem]

Use the same logic for other qsns..
Hope that helps.. :)
@utsav7986 Thanks bro for the lucid xplanation....gt the concept :)

PS: while posting this query i didn had any intended audience in my mind :P, it was posted on the forum so anybody can rply...

Thanks again!!!

but suppose v use euler's in this case and divide the number by 100 and find the remainder..den the last two digits wld be 13 only..
euler's quotient wld b 40...now 40 divides 103! completely...so it shld be 13 only..
wats wrng here??
