It does not count 10, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18.
and they did not state about the square in the question.

Inside the 10 there are 2 digits which ends with 1 and 9.
Number 70 consists 7 tens.
So total no of digits that end with 1 and 9 in 70 are,
7*2=14.
So percentage= (14/70) *100=20.
Number 70 consists 7 tens.

So percentage= (14/70) *100=20.

It is wrong method unit digit means endshould be 1 or 9.
And 10 will be end in 0 so 10 is not include.

The no 10 after squaring it does not end with 1.......
if u square to 1,11,19,21 it ends with 1
Squaring 10 = 10 x 10 = 100 it ends with 0
Squaring 11 = 11 x 11 = 121 it ends with 1
I think u got it.

I see that number 10 is not included into consideration even though it has 1 in its digit unit, why?

Its not end in 1 digit, its end with digit 1
as (1)^2=1
(9)^2=81 ;8(1)
got it..
