rajatchopra1994 all is good but I think you need to check the cyclicity of 2; Am I right?? Please let me know if my understanding is flawed

rajatchopra1994
Explanation:

Unit digit for sum = 3^47+5^43+2^12

Cyclicity of 5 will be 5 always
Cyclicity of 3 will be 3,9,7,1
Cyclicity of 2 will be 2,4,6,8

Unit digit sum = 7 + 5 + 8
= 12 + 8 = 20
= 2+0 = 2

IMO-A

rajatchopra1994 Happy to see you have corrected and edited the post too
A mistake is mistake, no second chance.
Rather than typing long texts, a correct, accurate and concise approach always helps.
Do not reinvent the wheel

Also, If you intend to score good in SC you should consider a thorough revision .(Correct version is below)

Finally you haven't copied, else you would have pasted a wrong answer.
Good luck :angel:

Agreed, but Reinvention helps others to understand from scrap. May be in future, you designed much better wheel. 😁

rajatchopra1994 I will separately PM grammar errors that you made in writing this sentence; However, I will try to highlight only your quant errors in this forum.

Thanks for offering you help.

Cheers

Once you're familiar with the "cycle" of each of these numbers just being careful with figuring out the end digit for the exponent in question is important.

Dear sumitkrocks
I presume that rajatchopra1994 deserves kudos at least because he was the first and bumped up the question :)
Concerning the gramma, I suppose that you have made a typo:
- I will separately PM grammar errors that you made in writing this sentence

Modal verb + Adverb is not a bona fide verb, and thus the sentence becomes a fragment.

The phrase Thanks for offering you help , even if you change "you" to "your", is grammatically wrong.
The correct phrase would be "Thank you for offering to help".

Please, do not take it personally :angel:
