If the units place is 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9.
Square of all number = 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81.
Then, take unit value for all squares =1, 4, 9, 6, 5, 6, 9, 4, 1.

And approx is 2, 3, 7, 8.

2 = 4.
3 = 9.
4 = 16.
5 = 25.
7 = 49.
9 = 81.
10 = 100.

As you can see all squares have 0, 1, 4, 5, 6, 9 in units place.

So if we have 2, 3, 7, 8 in units place it square root is not perfect.

Number ending with 0, 1, 4, 5, 6, 9 are the perfect squares rather than these are not perfect squares.

Hello pawan and kala.

The two digit numbers are from 10 to 99.

The numbers with 8 in units place are.

18, 28, 38, 48, 58, 68, 78, 88, 98.

These numbers do not have a perfect square (s*s).

So answer is none of these.

Hope you understand.
