Question
Assertion (A): 4n ends with digit 0 for some natural number n.
Reason (R): For a number 'x' having 2 and 5 as its prime factors, xn always ends with digit 0 for every natural number n.
Solution
1
4n cycles through 4, 16, 64, 256, ... (never ends with 0). So A is false. R is true since if x has both 2 and 5 as prime factors, x is divisible by 10.
