Some posts mention that the last 100 or so questions are usually the more difficult ones. But in my experience they seem to be the easiest ones ? Thanks in advance for the c...

Need help with DS question
Can someone help me out with this DS question ?
It's from a test on Manhattan GMAT.
If (243)^x(463)^y = n, where x and y are positive integers, what is the units digit of n?
(1) x + y = 7
(2) x = 4
Will post the answer after a couple of replies. I didn't understand the explanation.
