Question

How many two-digit numbers satisfy this property : The last digit (units digit) of the square of the two-digit number is 8 ?
Options:
A .  1
B .  2
C .  3
D .  None of these
Answer: Option D

Answer : Option D

Explanation :

A number ending with 8 can never become a perfect square
Let's examine this in detail
1 × 1 = 1
Hence, if the unit digit of a number is 1, unit digit of its square is 1
2 × 2 = 4
Hence, if the unit digit of a number is 2, unit digit of its square is 4
3 × 3 = 9
Hence, if the unit digit of a number is 3, unit digit of its square is 9
4 × 4 = 16
Hence, if the unit digit of a number is 4, unit digit of its square is 6
5 × 5 = 25
Hence, if the unit digit of a number is 5, unit digit of its square is 5
6 × 6 = 36
Hence, if the unit digit of a number is 6, unit digit of its square is 6
7 × 7 = 49
Hence, if the unit digit of a number is 7, unit digit of its square is 9
8 × 8 = 64
Hence, if the unit digit of a number is 8, unit digit of its square is 4
9 × 9 = 81
Hence, if the unit digit of a number is 9, unit digit of its square is 1
0 × 0 = 0
Hence, if the unit digit of a number is 0, unit digit of its square is 0
