Solution

The correct option is A 1
From 5! onwards, each of the numbers would have a units digit of 0. Hence, the units digit of the given number would depend on the units digit of 1! -2! +3!-4!, which would be -1(1-2+6-4) i.e. 9. But the rest of the numbers end up with with a higher number, which ends in Zero, than (1! -2! +3!-4!). Hence, N is a number that has a unit's digit of 0 - 9 = -9 i.e. 1 and when it is raised to any power, the digit would not change. Hence, the correct answer would be 1.
