Hey just go with the power of m o d \huge{mod}

(3+1) = 4 (mod 10)

( 5 2 5^{2} +1) = 6 (mod 10) (since, any power of 5 will have unit digit as 5 and 5+1=6)

Then we have

( 3 3 3^{3} +1) = ( 3 2 3^{2} )3 + 1 (mod 10)

( 3 3 3^{3} +1) = (-1)3 + 1 (mod 10)

( 3 3 3^{3} +1) = -2 or 8 (mod 10)

again we have,

( 5 4 5^{4} +1) = 6 (mod 10)

( 3 5 3^{5} +1) = ( 3 2 3^{2} )( 3 2 3^{2} )3 + 1 (mod 10)

( 3 3 3^{3} +1) = (-1)(-1)3 + 1 (mod 10)

( 3 3 3^{3} +1) = 4 (mod 10)

Multiplying all these we get,

4 × 6 × 8 × 6 × 4 4 \times6 \times8 \times6 \times4 (mod 10)

4 × 4 4\times4 =6 and 6 × 6 6\times6 = 6 (mod 10)

6*8 = 8(mod 10)

Thus the unit digit is 8.

( 5 2 { 5 }^{ 2 } +1)( 5 4 { 5 }^{ 4 } +1)= 26 × 626

∴ Units digit of the product of ( 5 2 { 5 }^{ 2 } +1)( 5 4 { 5 }^{ 4 } +1) is 6

(3 + 1)( 3 3 { 3 }^{ 3 } +1)( 3 5 { 3 }^{ 5 } +1)=4 × 28 × 244

∴ Units digit of the product of (3 + 1)( 3 3 { 3 }^{ 3 } +1)( 3 5 { 3 }^{ 5 } +1) is 8

Now, the units digit of the product of (3 + 1)( 3 3 { 3 }^{ 3 } +1)( 3 5 { 3 }^{ 5 } +1)( 5 2 { 5 }^{ 2 } +1)( 5 4 { 5 }^{ 4 } +1) is same as the units digit obtained by multiplying 6 and 8.

Thus, the units digit of (3 + 1)( 3 3 { 3 }^{ 3 } +1)( 3 5 { 3 }^{ 5 } +1)( 5 2 { 5 }^{ 2 } +1)( 5 4 { 5 }^{ 4 } +1) is 8
