112*5^4 = (100+12) *625.

Use formula (a+b) *c = (a*c) + (b*c).

(100+12) *625 = (100*625) + (12*625).

= 62500+7500.

= 70000.

We can use simple method:

5^4 = 5*5*5*5 = 625.

Then this to multiply with 112.

You can easily get answer 112*625 = 70000.

112 x 5^4 = (2^4 * 7) * 5^4
= 2^4 * 5^4 * 7
= (2*5)^4 * 7
= 10^4 * 7
= 70000

By digit sum it can be more easier:

112 * 625 = 4 * 13 = 4 * 4 =>16 = 7.
digit sum of option will be;
70000 = 7.

In simple Method we can solve this problem Like:

5 to the power of 4 means 5*5*5*5 = 625.

625*112 = 70000.

5----2^1,
5*5------2^2=4,
5*5*5------2^3=8,
5*5*5*5-----2^4=16,

Then simply,
112/16=7 and then it is 70000.

This method is quite easy to solve;

112 * 625.
= 100*625+10*625+2 * 625,
= 62500 + 6250 + 1250,
= 70000.

The Simple trick is;

Highest power is 4 therefore answer will be the option having 4 zeros i.e. 70000.

We can also use simple method by using multiplication.
i.e.,

5^4=5*5*5*5=625.

Then,

112*625=70000.

Can anybody help me with this!

My query is that why do we consider 5^4 when the question says 54?
