All two-digit perfect squares are:
1 6 , 2 5 , 3 6 , 4 9 , 6 4 , 8 1
From these squares either the first or second digit is not a perfect square:
1 6 , 2 5 , 3 6 , 4 9 , 6 4 , 8 1
The answer is = Number of such numbers + Sum of all such Numbers:
4 9 + 1 = 5 0
If the digits are perfect squares, the tens digit must be 1 , 4 , or 9 .
The 2-digit perfect square with the leading digit 1 is 1 6 , which does not satisfy.
The 2-digit perfect square with the leading digit 4 is 4 9 , which does satisfy.
There are no 2-digit perfect squares with the leading digit 9 .
Therefore, there is 1 perfect square that satisfies the conditions, and it is 4 9 . The sum is therefore 1 + 4 9 = 5 0 .
I think you should state "2-digit" perfect squares for completeness.

Two-digit squares: 1 6 , 2 5 , 3 6 , 4 9 , 6 4 , 8 1 .
Since 2 5 , 3 6 don't have a square number, we can eliminate them.
Now we have left: 1 6 , 4 9 , 6 4 , 8 1 .
Since 1 6 , 6 4 , 8 1 have only one square number, we can eliminate them.
Therefore, there is only 1 number that satisfies @Alak Bhattacharya 's conditions: 4 9
Therefore, the answer is 4 9 + 1 = 5 0
