Even Number: Any number that can be exactly divided by 2 is called an even number. Even numbers always end up with the last digit as 0, 2, 4, 6, or 8.
Calculation:
Let's assume the odd number = 7
Even power of 7 = 72 = 49
49 = 8 × 6 + 1
Similarly, we can also check for another value.
∴ The correct answer is 1.
