81 x 82 x 83..... x 98 x 99

This sequence has the number 90 in it.

Therefore it will have the digit 0 in it's unit's place.

The unit's digit is the unit's digit of 1 × 2 × 3 × 4 × 5 × 6 × 7 × 8 × 9 1\times2\times3\times4\times5\times6\times7\times8\times9 . Since, 2 × 5 2\times5 are included as factors, the unit's digit must be 0 0 because 2 × 5 = 10 2\times5=10 and any number multiplied by 0 0 is 0 0 .

Let the sequence be the product of 19 numbers. Then the product of this 19 numbers' unit digit will be

1 2 3....... 9 But after 1 2 3 4 the answer is 24 and 24*5(next number) is 120... Now on reaching 120 we have 0 as the unit digit so all other numbers will give product equal to 0
