Remainder of any no. divided by 10, is the unit digit
Remainder of any no. divided by 5, is the unit digit (if it is 0,1,2,3,4) or unit digit - 5 (if it is 5, 6, 7, 8, 9)
So, you just need to figure out the unit digit of z and you can solve the rest
9^1=9
9^2=81
9^3=729
so for even power, the last digit is 1
similarly for 4
4^1=4
4^2=16
4^3=64 etc…
so for even power, it ends with 6
so the last digits can be 7(even power) or 3(odd power) now 7/5 has reminder 2 and 7/10 has a reminder of 7 B is greater

9+4 = 13/5 rem 3, 13/10 rem 3
81+16 = 97/5 rem 2, 97/10 rem 7
…and so on
For every odd power, rem is 3 for z/5 and z/10
For every even power, rem is 2 for z/5 and 7 for z/3
Since, the power in the given question is even,
For z/5, rem will be 2 and for z/10, rem will be 7
So, the answer is B.
I am thinking.
