Find the largest 2-digit number NN which is divisible by 4 , such that all integral powers of NN end with NN.

Correct answer

76

Step-by-step solution

If given condition is satisfied for power 2 (i.e. for square), then it will hold for all (+ve) integral powers. Let the number NN be " aba b ". Units place remains same on squaring b=0b=0 or 6 If b=0b=0, then on squaring even ten's place will become 0 . So b=0b=0 is rejected. ⇒b=6\Rightarrow b=6 NN is divisible by 4 . Possibilities of NN are 16,36,56,76,9616,36,56,76,96. Among these only 76 satisfies the required condition ⇒N=76\Rightarrow N=76
