If a square number's tens digit is 7, what is its units digit?


Answer     6

The answer is 6.

A square number can only end with 0, 1, 4, 5, 6, and 9. Hence, the candidate of last two digits are 70, 71, 74, 75, 76, and 79.

Meanwhile, a square number must satisfy n^2\equiv 0, 1\pmod{4}. Among these candidates, only 76 meets this criteria. Therefore, we conclude that the answer is 6.
