Why shouldn't we consider 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18 as they have 1 in its unit?

We cannot keep 2 digits at a time at a unit place, right. so there should be 1 or 9.

Why not 12, 13, 14, . , 18? All have 1 in them! It is told 1 OR 9. Not 1 AND 9?

How to find those 14 numbers in between 1-70 is there any shortcut to find it?

Rekha said:   7 years ago
13^2 is 169, so it ends with 9. But why 13 should not be considered b/w them?

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

Very easy 100 ÷ 0 = 1.4285714286.
Next 1.4285714286 * 14 = 20.
