1
14
20
21
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Clearly, the numbers which have 1 or 9 in the unit's digit, have squares that end in the digit 1. Such numbers from 1 to 70 are 1, 9, 11, 19, 21, 29, 31, 39, 41, 49, 51, 59, 61, 69.

Number of such number =14

Required percentage = 14 x 100 % = 20%.

Numbers from 1 to 70.

1 unit digit -> 1,11,21,31,41,51,61 -> 7 numbers.
9 unit digit -> 9,19,29,39,49,59,69 -> 7 numbers.

So, the total 1 and 9 unit digits is 14 numbers.
Now percentage;
14/70 * 100 = 20%.

Please read the question carefully.

It says about that number which put in place of a unit and which must be 1 or 9.

So only these number are 1, 9, 11, 19, 21, 29, 31, 39, 41, 49, 51, 59, 61, 69.

So total 14 numbers.

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.

1-10 = 2 available 1,9.
11-20 = 2 available 11,19.
21-30 = 2 available 21,29.
31-40 = 2 available 31,39.
41-50 = 2 available 41,49.
51-60 = 2 available 51,59.
61-70 = 2 available 61,69.
Q1/q2 ×100.
= 14/70 ×100
= 20.

@Lobsang.

Because, They didn't ask about us anyone's Square.

They just told you to find how many no belongs in 1to70 That last digit should come only 1 and 9. Like 01, 09, 11, 19, 21, 29. 69.

Hope you understood.

@ ROSS

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.

We should first understand the question ?

The question asks the numbers with 1 or 9 in the unit digit that is in the last digit or ending with 1 or 9.

12, 13, 14 have 2, 3 and 4 in the unit digit respectively.

The Units digit is the digit in the one's column.
Ex-4567, 876, 53.
Unit digit 7,6, 3.

Now come to solution;
1to 70 unit digits are 1,9,11,19,21,29,31,39,41,49,51,59,61,69 =14.
So percentage =14/70*100= 20%.

The question doesn't specify that the digits 1 or 9 must be the last digits, so clearly all the number in the teens, would qualitfy as nubers between 1 and 70 that have the digit 1 OR 9.

Uttam said:   1 decade ago
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.
