It has nothing to do with the squares.

Just count the numbers ending with 1 or 9 in between 1 and 70 (inclusively). That's all.

Why 7 not included? It ends with 9 after squaring.

What about 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, and 18?

What is the need for squaring here, they just asked to find out how man number are there, with the unit digit (1 and 9)?

It is very simple.

Now there are 14 numbers which start from 1 or 9 It means 14 out of 70.

Now take percentage of 14 out of 70 means multiply by 100 which is equal to 20%.

The question should be 1 and 9 not 1 or 9.
