Look this pattern:

2003 1 {2003}^{1} unit digit is 3

2003 2 {2003}^{2} unit digit is 9

2003 3 {2003}^{3} unit digit is 7

2003 4 {2003}^{4} unit digit is 1

After 4 powers the sequence repeats. 2003 5 {2003}^{5} unit digit is 3

2003 6 {2003}^{6} unit digit is 9

...

The remainder left when 2002 is divided by 4 is 2. 2003 2002 {2003}^{2002} the unit digit is 9 according to the pattern.

The unit digit of 2001 is 1. 1 times 1 is 1. Logically 2001 2002 {2001}^{2002} the unit digit is 1.

9 + 1 = 10 9 + 1 = 10 the unit digit of 2003 2002 + 2001 2002 {2003}^{2002} + {2001}^{2002} is 0.

2003^2002 + 2001^2002≡? mod 10 I) (2003,10) = 1 => φ(10)=4 2003^4≡1 mod 10 => 2003^2000≡1 mod 10=> 2003^2002≡9 mod 10

II) (2001,10)=1=> φ(10)=4 2001^4≡1 mod 10 => 2001^2000≡1 mod 10=> 2001^2002≡1 mod 10

∴ 2003^2002 + 2001^2002≡ 9 +1=10 ≡ 0 mod 10

Logically in 2003 the last digit is 3 Powers of 3 gives many numbers(as last digit) let's make it 9 As it is last digit don't matter about others so 3 raised to 2002 =9 raised to 1001 In odd Powers of 9 last digit is 9 and even Powers gives 1. And in 2001 last digit is 1 so there any power will have last digit 1 So 9+1=10 so last digit =0

200 3 2002 = 10 B + 3 2000 × 9 = 10 B + ( 80 + 1 ) 500 × 9 = 10 A + 9 2003^{2002}=10 B + 3^{2000} \times 9 =10 B + (80+1)^{500} \times 9 = 10 A + 9 200 1 2002 = ( 2000 + 1 ) 2002 = 10 C + 1 2001^{2002}=(2000+1)^{2002}=10C+1 3 2002 + 200 1 2002 = 10 D R = 0 \Rightarrow 3^{2002} + 2001^{2002} = 10 D \Rightarrow R=\boxed{0}
