Surender, One way to approach this problem is to write
and then find the units digit of 721 and the units digit of 321 using the technique in my response to Alex's question. Multiply the two units digits obtained to find the units digit of (7 × 3)21 = 721 × 321. For this particular problem it is easier to deal with 7 × 3 = 21 directly. Your question is to find the units digit of (7 × 3)21 = 2121.
