Which of the following numbers will completely divide (461 + 462 + 463 + 464) ?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
(461 + 462 + 463 + 464) = 461 x (1 + 4 + 42 + 43) = 461 x 85
= 460 x (4 x 85)
= (460 x 340), which is divisible by 10.

For x=odd means: 4 raised to odd no. ie. 4^1,4^3,4^5...will get 4,64,1024.
Here unit values are 4,4,4.
Similarly for x=even: 4 raised to even no. ie. 4^2,4^4,4^6... will get 16,256,4096...
here the unit places are 6,6,6.
So will get alternative 4 and 6 as unit places.
Hope I conveyed a little.

As 4*4 = 16 and unit place of 16 is 6.

In the case of 4,the unit values are 4 and 6
The unit value:
For x=odd no:(1,3,5,..), 4 raised to x = 4
For x=even no:(2,4,6,..), 4 raised to x = 6
In here unit values are 4,6,4 and 6
So 4+6+4+6=20, The unit value is 0
So it is divisible by 10
