If N is a positive interger, is the units digit of N equal to zero?
1. 14 and 35 are factors of N
2. N = (2^5)(3^2)(5^7)(7^6)
I chose B as answer. I thought since statement 1 lists only 2 factors of N, other factors may change the units digit of N. How to approach such problems ?
QA is D.
Thanks.

(1)
14 and 35 are factors of N
14=2*7
35=7*5
2*5 wil get 10, units digit is 0, 0 multiplied by any number will get 0.
Moreover, lst digits of 14 and 35 are 4 and 5, 4*5=20. with 0 at the end

(2)
N = (2^5)(3^2)(5^7)(7^6)
use the same logic as above
u have 2's and 5's? they will give 10
0 multiplied by any number will get 0

Answer D
Hope this will make sence
