To do:

We have to find the units digit of the squares of the given numbers.

Solution:

We know that,

The unit digit of square of a number having $a$ at its unit place will end with the units digit of $a \times a$.

(i) Here, the unit digit of the given number is 2.

This implies,

The units digit of the square of 52 $=2^2=4$.

The units digit of the square of the given number is $4$.

(ii) Here, the unit digit of the given number is 7.

This implies,

The square of the units digit of 977

$=7^2=49$.

Therefore,

The units digit of the square of the given number is $9$.

(iii) Here, the unit digit of the given number is 3.

This implies,

The square of the units digit of 4583

$=3^2=9$.

Therefore,

The units digit of the square of the given number is $9$.

(iv) Here, the unit digit of the given number is 7.

This implies,

The square of the units digit of 78367

$=7^2=49$.

Therefore,

The units digit of the square of the given number is $9$.

(v) Here, the unit digit of the given number is 8.

This implies,

The square of the units digit of 52698

$=8^2=64$.

Therefore,

The units digit of the square of the given number is $4$. 

(vi) Here, the unit digit of the given number is 0.

This implies,

The square of the units digit of 99880

$=0^2=0$.

Therefore,

The units digit of the square of the given number is $0$. 

(vii) Here, the unit digit of the given number is 6.

This implies,

The square of the units digit of 12796

$=6^2=36$.

Therefore,

The units digit of the square of the given number is $6$. 

(viii) Here, the unit digit of the given number is 5.

This implies,

The square of the units digit of 55555

$=5^2=25$.

Therefore,

The units digit of the square of the given number is $5$.  

(ix) Here, the unit digit of the given number is 4.

This implies,

The square of the units digit of 53924

$=4^2=16$.

Therefore,

The units digit of the square of the given number is $6$.
