B Correct answer
Explanation

Let the number be 10x + y where x is tens digit, y is units digit. Square: (10x+y)² = 100x² + 20xy + y². Dividing by half the number (5x + y/2) and adding 36 then dividing by 2 gives the reversed number 10y + x. Also x = 2(y-x). Testing option B: 46² = 2116, half of 46 = 23, 2116/23 = 92, 92+36 = 128, 128/2 = 64 ✓ And 4 = 2(6-4) = 4 ✓ The number is 46.

Explanation

Find unit digit of 2^100 - 3^50. Unit digits cycle: 2^n → 2,4,8,6 (period 4); 3^n → 3,9,7,1 (period 4). 100 mod 4 = 0, so 2^100 ends in 6. 50 mod 4 = 2, so 3^50 ends in 9. 6 - 9 = -3 ≡ 7 (mod 10). Option A (7) is correct.

C Correct answer
Explanation

For a number to be divisible by 4, its last two digits must be divisible by 4. From {1,2,3,4,5,6}, the pairs divisible by 4 are: 12, 16, 24, 32, 36, 52, 56, 64 (8 pairs). For each pair, we need to fill the first 3 positions from remaining 4 digits. Number of ways = 4P3 = 4 × 3 × 2 = 24. Total = 8 × 24 = 192.

A Correct answer
Explanation

We need a number consisting only of 3s that is divisible by 7. Testing 333, 3333, 33333, and 333333, we find $333333 / 7 = 47619$. This is the smallest such integer. Other options like 47719 or 48619 do not result in a product of all 3s when multiplied by 7.

B Correct answer
Explanation

The last digit of powers of 2 follows a repeating cycle of 4: 2, 4, 8, 6. For 2^18, we find the position in the cycle: 18 ÷ 4 = 4 remainder 2, so it corresponds to the second position in the cycle, which is 4. Therefore, 2^18 ends in 4.
