I want to know how to figure out what to use when?
So whenever I see a problem of type | something | = | something else| then use method 1
ELSE I use method 2 ?
Is this a safe conclusion ?
thanks

This is a relatively old problem that I came across.
I always get the remainder as 0.
Pls let me know if I am missing something.
eg. if x = 1
then the expr becomes 2^10 ==> 1024 ==> units digit is 4
Add 6 to this. The unit digit becomes 0 which is always divisible by 5.

This is very tricky. At the outset all look like weakeners. But, in a limited sense, A is better and a strengthener.
