FINDING THE SQUARES OF NUMBERS ENDING WITH '5'

Many people struggle to solve aptitude questions within the limited time they have.

Few methods to overcome this problem is
     1) A continous practice
     2) Implementing Shortcut methods.

I would like to share few shortcuts which may be useful in almost each and every competetive exams. But with a regular practise. As we know "success cannot be gained overnight"

FINDING THE SQUARES OF NUMBERS WHICH ENDUP WITH '5' (65,35,75,125 etc)

Eg: Find the value of 35 square.

Step 1:
The result of the first digit(left side) will be the product of number's first digit and its successive number. ie 3*4=12

Step 2:
Note: For every square value of a number ending with '5'  will be 25. Therefore the value will be 25 which is in the right side.

Therefore final result will be combination of two i.e 1225


  • Find square value of 75.
           step 1: 7*8=56

           step 2: 25(From above note)

        Result : 5625

Similarly,
              square of 45 = 2025
              square of 65=  4225.
