Answer:

If a number ends with 5, then it is not divisible by 2. However, 6 is divisible by 2, and so every power of 6. That's why no such power can end with 5.

Reason is true but assertion is false.

If we want to prove with the help of contradiction,

Let the number 6^{n} can end with the digit 5.

Now, to let that happen,

6^{n} must be divisible by 5.

Now, we have,

6^{n} =(2.3)^{n}

This means that the factors that are prime are 2 and 3.

This is a contradiction and hence,  6^{n} cannot end with the digit 5.

Hence, assertion is false.

For any natural number n, 9^{n} can never end in zero because in order for a number to finish in zero, it must be divisible by 10, which means that its factors must be 5 and 2. However, since 9 only has 3 as a factor, raising its strength won't make 5 into a factor. Thus, it can never get to a zero.

Hence, reason is true but assertion is false.
