Step-by-step explanation:
One, two, three can be crossed out seeing their square is a single digit.
4’s square has 1 at it's ten's place. 5 has 2, 6 has 3, 7 has 4, 8 has 6, 9 has 8, etc.
The list of numbers less than 1000 having their ten's digit odd:
4,6,14,16,24,26,34,36,44,46,54,56,64,66,74,76,84,86,94,96,104,106,114,116,124,126,…,204,206,214,216,…,304,306,…,904,906,914,916,..,994,996.
There are 200 numbers.
Reasoning: Let a two digit number be (10a+p). Squaring it:
20ap (the ten's digit) will stay an even number unless his neighbour do not give some odd carry to it.
Numbers ending with 4 and 6 passes 1 and 3, respectively to 20ap, proselytizing it from even to odd
