How about this Sir ? Since there are even number of 4's which result in 1009, 4's and 1009, 6's. Adding we find last digit to be 0 and further adding it 1 we have last digit as 1. :)

A = 3 4 2 0 1 9 − 1 = 3 B and B is divisible by 3. (Let B = 4 2 0 1 9 − 1 ).
4 2 0 1 9 ends at 4. This implies that B ends at 3 and hence A finishes at 1, because B without the last digit 3, is also divisible by 3 (the sum of its digits is divisible by 3).

We need to find A m o d 1 0 .
A ≡ 4 0 + 4 1 + 4 2 + 4 3 + 4 4 + 4 5 + 4 6 + ⋯ + 4 2 0 1 7 + 4 2 0 1 8 (mod 10) ≡ 1 + ( 4 1 + 4 2 ) + 4 2 ( 4 1 + 4 2 ) + 4 4 ( 4 1 + 4 2 ) + ⋯ + 4 2 0 1 6 ( 4 1 + 4 2 ) (mod 10) ≡ 1 + 2 0 + 4 2 ( 2 0 ) + 4 4 ( 2 0 ) + ⋯ + 4 2 0 1 6 ( 2 0 ) (mod 10) ≡ 1 (mod 10)
