3^1= 3
3^2 = 9
3^3 = 7
3^4 = 1
Unit digit for 3 raised to different powers gives a repeating 4 cycle
So unit digit of 233^68 = 1
9^1 = 9
9^2 = 1
P = 149^37
Since 9 is raised to an odd power, unit digit of P = 9
N + P unit digit is 0
Now N ^P will give a minimum unit digit of 1, we dont need to find the value.
Answer is B
