Ya there is a short cut the concept is :
Let's look for the no. whose square ends with 1 from 1-10, we will find that there are only two such number that is 1 and 9. That is between 1-70 there will be 14 such number.
Now lets find the percentage. 14 is what percent of 70.
10% of 70 is 7
Therefore 20% of 70 will be 2 * 7 = 14 the answer is 20%.
