Then why don't we consider 7 here because it also ends with 9 as a unit digit 7*7=49?
Anyone clarify it.

I think the total numbers are 15 because here, the number 10 is missed.
10 also have the number 1.
10 also have the number 1.

There are 10 digits from 0 to 9 total( 10 nos) out of which 1 and 9 are asked in question (2 digits) so in question at units place Bo's are not repeating.
Hence 2 digits out of 10 digits Make it 20%(2/10=20%).
Am I right?

@All.
Unit place is the first digit and not the last. As per the place value system it would always begin from left to right. This is simply a wrongly phrased question.

The simplest method is by counting the unit places as 3 and 7.
So, there are 14 nos.
14/70*100=20 %.
So, there are 14 nos.

Why don't we consider the 12, 13, 18 because it has 1 as a unit digit?

In every ten numbers, we have only two numbers that end with digits 1 or 9.
So b/w 1 to 70 we 14. (7*2 = 14).
Here 7 represents no of tens and 2 represents no of numbers that end with digit 1 or 9.
So, 14/70 * 100 = 20.

The question is not talking about ending with 1 or 9, but it's talking about numbers having 1 or 9.
