Question

Write last two digits of the number 3400.

Answer

$3^{400}=(9)^{200}$

$=(10-1)^{200}$

$={^\text{200}}\text{C}_{\text{0}}(10)^{200}+{^\text{200}}\text{C}_{\text{1}}(10)^{199}(-1)^{1}.....\\+{^\text{200}}\text{C}_{\text{108}}(10)^{2}(-1)^{198}+{^\text{200}}\text{C}_{\text{199}}(10)^{1}(-1)^{199}+{^\text{200}}\text{C}_{\text{200}}(-1)^{200}$

$=100\Big[(10)^{198}+{^\text{200}}\text{C}_{\text{1}}(10)^{197}(-1)^{1}+......+{^\text{200}}\text{C}_{\text{198}}(-1)^{198}\Big]+200(10)^{199}+(-1)^{200}$

$=100\Big[(10)^{198}-{^\text{200}}\text{C}_{\text{1}}(10)^{197}+......+{^\text{200}}\text{C}_{\text{198}}-2(10)\Big]+1$

$=100(\text{a natural number})+1$

Hence, last two digits of the number 3400 is 01.
