I assume you're asked to find
7^(4k)\pmod{100} for positive integer k. To start, notice that


7^4 \equiv 7^3*7 \equiv 343*7 \equiv 43*7 \equiv 301 \equiv 1\pmod{100}

Then for every k, we have


7^(4k) \equiv (7^4)^k \equiv 1^k \equiv 1 \pmod{100}

Not sure 74k is 74000 so mod 100 gives to digits from the right. So answer is 0.
Or it’s 7^4 = 2,401 so answer is 1.
Please check the question again
