Let's take 100% for all 10numbers placed in the unit digit. Now 2 numbers(1 or 9) it is 20%.

In question there should be 1 & 9 instead of 1 or 9.

@All.

If we increase the parameter from 70 to 100 then what?

I mean if we count from 1 to 100 than what will be the solution?

Abhishek said:   7 years ago
If we count without unit digit. What is the answer?

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 total number is 70.
Possible values in number.14.
14 is what % of 70.
(14*100)/70.
=20.

Simple 1 or 9 in unit digit in 1st 10 no. Is 2,
So 1 to 70 = 2*7 = 14.
% = 14/70*100 = 20% Answer.

Digits with 1 in unitary place:7.
Digits with 9 in unitary place:7.
7+7=14,
The total numbers=70.
14/70*100=140/7=20%.
