Quite an easy one,
We are searching for a 4-digit number whose square also has the same last 4 digits,
So we must begin our search from the units digit,
The numbers which have the same units digit after squaring are 0 , 1 , 5 , 6 ,
Now we extend it ten's digit 0 0 , 0 1 , 2 5 , 7 6 ,
We observe that possibility of 0 and 1 to be units digits are nill, hence we continue with 2 5 , 7 6 ,
Taking one more step ahead we end up with 6 2 5 , 3 7 6 ,
And at the final step we observe 0 6 2 5 and 9 3 7 6 .
Hence only 9 3 7 6 is the answer.
