- [5] Let a be a positive integer such that 2 a has units digit 4. What is the sum of the possible units digits of 3 a ? Proposed by: Daniel Zhu Answer: 7 Solution: If 2 a has last digit 4, then the last digit of a is either 2 or 7. In the former case, 3 a has last digit 6, and in the latter case, 3 a has last digit 1. This gives a final answer of 6 + 1 = 7.
