from which have appeared consistently and in significant numbers in all these exams.

Key concepts discussed:

The cyclicity of unit digits 0,1, 5 and 6 is 1.


The cyclicity of unit digits 4 and 9 is 2.
The cyclicity of unit digits 2, 3, 7 and 8 is 4.
When a natural number A ends with 0, Ak will always end with 00, where k is a natural number
greater than 1.
When a natural number A ends with 5, Ak will always end with 25, where k is a natural number
greater than 1.

Highlight: This session deals with questions which are based on finding unit digit of a number, unit digit of
