View full question & answer→True.Solution:
Given that $3^{400}=(9)^{200}=(10-1)^{200}$
$\therefore(10-1)^{200}=\ ^{200}\text{C}_0(10)^{200}-\ ^{200}\text{C}_1(10)^{199}+...\\-\ ^{200}\text{C}_{199}(10)^1+\ ^{200}\text{C}_{200}(1)^{200}$
$=10^{200}-200\times10^{199}+...-10\times200+1$
So, it is clear that last two digits are $01.$ Hence, the given statement is True.
