There'd no such digit which can't end in a cube of a natural number. Hence a cube of a natural number can end with any digit.
1³= 1 (ends with 1)
2³= 8 (ends with 8)
3³= 27 (ends with 7)
4³= 64 (ends with 4)
5³= 125 (ends with 5)
6³= 216 (ends with 6)
7³= 343 (ends with 3)
8³= 512 (ends with 2)
9³= 729 (ends with 9)
0³= 0 (ends with 0)
Hence the last digits are 0,1,8,7,4,5,6,3,2,9
Therefore we see every digits are last digits of these cubes. Hence a cube of a natural number can end with any digit.

Cell membranes are semipermeable, which means molecules can move through them. This is pretty important for cells to survive.

In this simple subtraction series, each number decreases by 0.4.

A and B complete a work in = 15 days
⇒ One day's work of (A + B) = 1/ 15

B complete the work in = 20 days
⇒ One day's work of B = 1/20

⇒ A's one day's work = 1/15 − 1/20 = (4−3)/6 = 1/60

Thus, A can complete the work in = 60 days.

So Option A is correct
