Question
How many two-digit numbers satisfy the following property given below:
The last digit (unit's digit) of the square of the two-digit number is 8?
- 4
- 12
- 15
- None of these
Hint:
1. We will find the squares of numbers in the given options and check whether the digit at the unit's place of the resultant number is 8 or not.
2. Any number ending in 8 can never be a perfect square. Hence, the answer is none of these.
The correct answer is: None of these
GIVEN-
Unit's digit of the square of a 2 digit number = 8
TO FIND-
Number from the given options that satisfy the given condition.
SOLUTION-
a. 12
(12)2 = 144
Since the unit's digit of the square of 12 is not 8, option a is not the correct answer.
b. 15
(15)2 = 225
Since the unit's digit of the square of 15 is not 8, option b is not the correct answer.
c. 4
(4)2 = 16
Since the unit's digit of the square of 4 is not 8, option c is not the correct answer.
d. None of these
Since none of the given options satisfy the given condition, option d i.e. 'none of these' is the correct answer.
FINAL ANSWER-
Option 'd' i.e. 'None of these' is the correct answer to the given question.

Alternatively, the question can be solved by multiply numbers in each of the options given and then check whether the resultant number is a perfect square or not-
a. 5
1008 * 5 = 5040
We know that 5040 is not a perfect square because √5040 = 12√35.
b. 2
1008 * 2 = 2016
We know that 2016 is not a perfect square because √2016 = 12√14.
c. 7
1008 * 7 = 7056
We know that 7056 is a perfect square because √7056 = 84.
d. 8
1008 * 8 = 8064
We know that 8064 is not a perfect square because √8064 = 24√14.
FINAL ANSWER REMAINS THE SAME.
