Let m=77^n . The index n is given a positive integral value at random. What is the probability that the value of m will have 1 in the units place?
Options
- A1 2
- B1 3
- C1 4
- D1 n
Correct answer
C. 1 4
Step-by-step solution
m=77^n aligned Put, n & =1,2,3,4 For, n & =1 m & =77 aligned For, n=2, m=77^2=5929 aligned For, n & =3, m=77^3=456543 For, n & =4, m=77^4=35153041 & = last digit will be 1 aligned Hence, the required probability = 1 4
