Solution

The correct option is B

6


The explanation for the correct answer:

Solve for the last digit of 3232

3232=(2+3×10)32

=232+10k, where k belongs toN.

So, the last digit in 3232=the end digit in 232

The cyclicity of 2is 4 That means the unit’s digits of 2x[x>0] follow the pattern of digits 2,4,8, and 6

The power in the problem is 32 When we divide the power by cyclicity, we get a remainder
324

Remainder =0.

The remainder 0 represents that we have to take the last number in the cyclicity pattern which becomes the required answer =6

Hence, option (B) is the answer.
