3^(3^3) – (3^3)^3 = 3^27- 27^3

Digit in unit place in 3^27 = 7 and digit in unit place of 27^3 is 3.

so Digit in the unit place of
3^(3^3) – (3^3)^3 is7-3=4

SUDESHNA SEN   13 years AGO

3^1= 3
3^2= 9
3^3= 27
3^4= 81
3^5= 243
3^6= 729
........
so the cycle repeats from 5.
Now, the remainder part of 27/5 is 2, so the last digit of 3^27 will be same as 3^(1+2)= 3^3= 27 or 7.
Now, 27^3= 19683
So, digit in the unit place of 3^(3^3)- (3^3)^3 is 7-3= 4...... Option 3)
