"each of the other explanations to this question has properly explained that you need to break down the calculation into pieces and figure out the repeatingpatternof the units digits . here ' s another way to organize the information . we ' re given [ ( 2222 ) ^ 333 ] [ ( 3333 ) ^ 222 ] we can ' combine ' some of the pieces and rewrite this product as . . . . ( [ ( 2222 ) ( 3333 ) ] ^ 222 ) [ ( 2222 ) ^ 111 ] ( 2222 ) ( 3333 ) = a big number that ends in a 6 taking a number that ends in a 6 and raising it to a power creates a nice pattern : 6 ^ 1 = 6 6 ^ 2 = 36 6 ^ 3 = 216 etc . thus , we know that ( [ ( 2222 ) ( 3333 ) ] ^ 222 ) will be a gigantic number that ends in a 6 . 2 ^ 111 requires us to figure out thecycleof the units digit . . . 2 ^ 1 = 2 2 ^ 2 = 4 2 ^ 3 = 8 2 ^ 4 = 16 2 ^ 5 = 32 2 ^ 6 = 64 2 ^ 7 = 128 2 ^ 8 = 256 so , every 4 powers , the pattern of the units digits repeats ( 2 , 4 , 8 , 6 . . . . . 2 , 4 , 8 , 6 . . . . ) . 111 = 27 sets of 4 with a remainder of 3 . . . . this means that 2 ^ 111 = a big number that ends in an 8 so we have to multiply a big number that ends in a 6 and a big number that ends in an 8 . ( 6 ) ( 8 ) = 48 , so the final product will be a gigantic number that ends in an 4 . final answer : c"

take the initial price before the gratuity is 100 the gratuity is calculated on the final price , so as we assumed the final bill before adding gratuity is 100 so gratuity is 15 % of 100 is 15 so the total price of meals is 115 so the given amount i . e 206 is for 115 then we have to calculate for 100 for 115 206 for 100 x so by cross multiplication we get 115 x = 100 * 206 = > x = 100 * 206 / 110 by simplifying we get x as 187.27 which is the price of lunch before gratuity so the gratuity is 18.73 so as the question ask the average price person excluding gratuity is 187.27 / 15 = 12.48 so our answer is b )

every prime number greater than 3 can be written 6 n + 1 or 6 n - 1 . if p = 6 n + 1 , then p ^ 2 + 16 = 36 n ^ 2 + 12 n + 1 + 16 = 36 n ^ 2 + 12 n + 12 + 5 if p = 6 n - 1 , then p ^ 2 + 16 = 36 n ^ 2 - 12 n + 1 + 16 = 36 n ^ 2 - 12 n + 12 + 5 when divided by 12 , it must leave a remainder of 5 . the answer is a .
