1. Which of the following will have 6 at unit place?
A. 192
B. 112
C. 242
D. 132
Answer: C
Explanation: 242 = 24 x 24 = 576
2. What is the sum of the first four odd natural numbers?
A. 16
B. 17
C. 18
D. 20
Answer: A
Explanation: The sum of the first odd natural numbers = 1+3+5+7 = 16
3. The value of 92 – 1 is equal to:
A. 81
B. 80
C. 79
D. None of the above
Answer: B
Explanation: 92-1 = 81 – 1 = 80
4. The square of 42 is:
A. 1764
B. 1664
C. 1564
D. 1504
Answer: A
Explanation: 422 = (40 + 2)2
= (40+2) (40+2)
= 40(40 + 2) + 2(40 + 2)
= 402 + 40 x 2 + 2 x 40 + 22
= 1600 + 80 + 80 + 4
= 1764
5. The Pythagorean triples whose smallest number is 6:
A. 8, 6 7
B. 6, 17, 8
C. 6, 8, 10
D. 10, 5, 6
Answer: C
Explanation: The general form of Pythagorean triplets is 2m, m2-1, m2+1
Given, 2m = 6
So, m = 3
m2 – 1= 32-1 = 9-1 = 8
m2+1=32+1= 9+1 = 10

Q.8: Find the square roots of 100 and 169 by the method of repeated subtraction.
Solution:
Let us find the square root of 100 first.

1. 100 – 1 = 99
2. 99 – 3 = 96
3. 96 – 5 = 91
4. 91 – 7 = 84
5. 84 – 9 = 75
6. 75 – 11 = 64
7. 64 – 13 = 51
8. 51 – 15 = 36
9. 36 – 17 = 19
10. 19 – 19 = 0

Here, we have performed a subtraction ten times.


Therefore, √100 = 10
Now, the square root of 169:

1. 169 – 1 = 168
2. 168 – 3 = 165
3. 165 – 5 = 160
4. 160 – 7 = 153
5. 153 – 9 = 144
6. 144 – 11 = 133
7. 133 – 13 = 120
8. 120 – 15 = 105
9. 105 – 17 = 88
10. 88 – 19 = 69
11. 69 – 21 = 48
12. 48 – 23 = 25
13. 25 – 25 = 0

Here, we have performed subtraction thirteen times.


Therefore, √169 = 13
Q.10: Find the square root of 729 using factorisation method.
Solution:

729 = 3×3×3×3×3×3×1
⇒ 729 = (3×3)×(3×3)×(3×3)
⇒ 729 = (3×3×3)×(3×3×3)
⇒ 729 = (3×3×3)2
Therefore,
⇒ √729 = 3×3×3 = 27
Q. 11: Find the smallest whole number by which 1008 should be multiplied so as to get a
perfect square number. Also, find the square root of the square number so obtained.
Solution:
Let us factorise the number 1008.
1008 = 2×2×2×2×3×3×7
= (2×2)×(2×2)×(3×3)×7
Here, 7 cannot be paired.
Therefore, we will multiply 1008 by 7 to get a perfect square.
New number so obtained = 1008×7 = 7056
Now, let us find the square root of 7056

7056 = 2×2×2×2×3×3×7×7
⇒ 7056 = (2×2)×(2×2)×(3×3)×(7×7)
⇒ 7056 = 22×22×32×72
⇒ 7056 = (2×2×3×7)2
Therefore;
⇒ √7056 = 2×2×3×7 = 84
Q. 12: Find the smallest whole number by which 2800 should be divided so as to get a perfect
square.
Solution:
Let us first factorise the number 2800.

2800 = 2×2×2×2×5×5×7
= (2×2)×(2×2)×(5×5)×7
Here, 7 cannot be paired.
Therefore, we will divide 2800 by 7 to get a perfect square.
New number = 2800 ÷ 7 = 400
Q. 13: 2025 plants are to be planted in a garden in such a way that each row contains as
many plants as the number of rows. Find the number of rows and the number of plants in
each row.
Solution:
Let the number of rows be, x.
Therefore, the number of plants in each row = x.
Total many contributed by all the students = x×x = x2
Given, x2 = Rs.2025
x2 = 3×3×3×3×5×5
⇒ x2 = (3×3)×(3×3)×(5×5)
⇒ x2 = (3×3×5)×(3×3×5)
⇒ x2 = 45×45
⇒ x = √(45×45)
⇒ x = 45
Therefore,
Number of rows = 45
Number of plants in each rows = 45
Q.14: Find the smallest square number that is divisible by each of the numbers 8, 15 and 20.
Solution:

L.C.M of 8, 15 and 20 is (2×2×5×2×3) = 120.


120 = 2×2×3×5×2 = (2×2)×3×5×2
Here, 3, 5 and 2 cannot be paired.
Therefore, we need to multiply 120 by (3×5×2) i.e. 30 to get a perfect square.
Hence, the smallest squared number which is divisible by numbers 8, 15 and 20 = 120×30 = 3600
Q.15: Find the square root of 7921 using long division method.
Solution:
∴ √7921 = 89
Q. 16: Find the square root of 42.25 using long division method.
Solution:

∴ √42.25 = 6.5
Q. 17: Find the least number which must be added to 1750 so as to get a perfect square. Also,
find the square root of the obtained number.
Solution:
Using long division method:
Here, (41)2 < 1750 > (42)2
We can say 1750 is ( 164 – 150 ) = 14 less than (42)2.
Therefore, if we add 14 to 1750, it will be a perfect square.
New number = 1750 + 14 = 1764
Therefore, the square root of 1764 is as follows:

∴√1764 = 42

1. The one’s digit of the cube of 53 is:
A. 9
B. 3
C. 7
D. 1
Answer: C
Explanation: 533 = 53 x 53 x 53
33 = 3x3x3 = 27
Hence, at the unit place, we will get 7.
Recheck: 533 = 53 x 53 x 53 = 148877
2. By what number should we divide 135 to get a perfect cube?
A. 3
B. 5
C. 7
D. 9
Answer: B
Explanation: 135 = 3 x 3 x 3 x 5
We can see, 5 is the extra number which cannot be paired in a group of 3.
Hence, 135/5 = 27
3. What should be divided by 53240 to make it a perfect cube?
A. 5
B. 10
C. 15
D. 20
Answer: A
Explanation: The prime factorisation of 53240
53240 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 11 × 11 × 11 × 5 = 23 × 113 × 5
Hence, we need to divide 53240 by 5
53240/5 = 10648 is a perfect cube.
4. Cube root of 15625 is:
A. 5
B. 15
C. 25
