4. 3864
5. 58637
6. 63545
7. 16542
8. 45640
9. 98231
10. 89999

Solution:

“Say x is at the unit’s place in a number, then its square will have unit digit = x*x.”

1)36

Digit at unit’s place = 6

Unit digit in $$36^{2}$$ = 6*6 = 36

So, the unit digit in $$36^{2}$$ is 6.

2) 273

Digit at unit’s place = 3

Unit digit in $$273^{2}$$ = 3*3 = 9

So, the unit digit in $$273^{2}$$ is 9.

3) 798

Digit at unit’s place = 8

Unit digit in $$798^{2}$$ = 8*8 = 64

So, the unit digit in $$798^{2}$$ is 4.

4) 3864

Digit at unit’s place = 4

Unit digit in $$3864^{2}$$ = 4*4 = 16

So, the unit digit in $$3864^{2}$$ is 6.

5) 58637

Digit at unit’s place = 7

Unit digit in $$58637^{2}$$ = 7*7 = 49

So, the unit digit in $$58637^{2}$$ is 9.

6) 63545

Digit at unit’s place = 5

Unit digit in $$63545^{2}$$ = 5*5 = 25

So, the unit digit in $$63545^{2}$$ is 5.

7) 16542

Digit at unit’s place = 2

Unit digit in $$16542^{2}$$ = 2*2 = 4

So, the unit digit in $$16542^{2}$$ is 4.

8) 45640

Digit at unit’s place = 0

Unit digit in $$45640^{2}$$ = 0*0 = 0

So, the unit digit in $$45640^{2}$$ is 0.

9) 98231

Digit at unit’s place = 1

Unit digit in $$98231^{2}$$ = 1*1 = 1

So, the unit digit in $$98231^{2}$$ is 1.

10) 89999

Digit at unit’s place = 9

Unit digit in $$89999^{2}$$ = 9*9 = 81

Question-2) Explain why following numbers are not perfect squares.

1. 1263
2. 654657
3. 25000
4. 23438
5. 888080
6. 895352
7. 35500000
8. 798657

Solution:

“The square of numbers generally ends with 0,1,5,6, or 9. Perfect square always ends with even numbers of zeros.”

1) 1263

Digit at unit’s place = 3

∴ this number is not a perfect square.

2) 654657

Digit at unit’s place = 7

∴ this number is not a perfect square.

3) 25000

Digit at unit’s place = 0

But the given number contains three 0’s and that is odd number and as a perfect square cannot end with odd numbers of zeros.

∴ this number is not a perfect square.

4) 23438

Digit at unit’s place = 8

∴ this number is not a perfect square.

5) 888080

Digit at unit’s place = 0

But the given number contains one 0 and that is odd number and as a perfect square cannot end with odd numbers of zeros.

∴ this number is not a perfect square.

6) 895352

Digit at unit’s place = 2

∴ this number is not a perfect square.

7) 35500000

Digit at unit’s place = 0

But the given number contains five 0’s and that is odd number and as a perfect square cannot end with odd numbers of zeros.

∴ this number is not a perfect square.

8) 798657

Digit at unit’s place = 7

∴ this number is not a perfect square.

Question-3) From the numbers given below which number’s square would be the odd number?

1. 541
2. 667
3. 2558
4. 3250

Solution:

We know that, “the square of any odd number will be odd and the square of any even number will be even.”

From the numbers given in question 541 and 667 are odd numbers and 2558 and 3250 are even numbers.

So, the square of 541 and 667 will be an odd number.

Question-4) Find out the missing number by observing the pattern given below.

$$21^{2}$$ = 441

$$201^{2}$$ = 40401

$$2001^{2}$$ = 4004001

$$20001^{2}$$ = 400040001

$$2000000001^{2}$$ = ________

Solution:

It can be seen from the pattern that in a square of a given number there is equal number of 0’s both the sides of the middle digit 4.

So, it can be said that

$$2000000001^{2}$$ = 4000000004000000001

This is the missing number.

Question-5) Find out the value of x by observing the pattern given below.

$$9^{2}$$ = 81

$$99^{2}$$ = 9801

$$999^{2}$$ = 998001

$$9999^{2}$$ = 99980001

$$x^{2}$$ = 99999980000001

Solution:

It can be seen from the pattern that if a number contain n number of nines than the square of that number is of the form,

(n – 1) numbers of nines then 8 then (n – 1) numbers of zeros then 1

i.e. (n- 1)9’s 8 (n – 1)0’s 1

In the question the $$x^{2}$$ = 99999980000001 is given.

This number contains six 9’s and six 0’s.

The number of nines in a square should be (n – 1)

So, here (n – 1) = 6

n = 6 + 1

n = 7

So, the required number is

x = 9999999

Question-6) Find out the missing number X, Y and Z by observing the pattern given below.

$$6^{2} + 42^{2} + 7^{2} = 43^{2}$$

$$9^{2} + 90^{2} + 10^{2} = 91^{2}$$

$$13^{2} + X^{2} + 14^{2} = 183^{2}$$

$$23^{2} + 552^{2} + 24^{2} = 553^{2}$$

$$36^{2} + 1332^{2} + 37^{2} = 1333^{2}$$

$$16^{2} + Y^{2} + 17^{2} = Z^{2}$$

Solution:

It can be seen from the pattern that,

• The middle number in L.H.S is product of the first and third number.
• The number in the R.H.S is equal to one plus the value of middle number in the L.H.S.

Hence the missing numbers are:

$$13^{2} + X^{2} + 14^{2} = 183^{2}$$

Here, X = 13*14 or (183 – 1) = 182

$$16^{2} + Y^{2} + 17^{2} = Z^{2}$$

Here, Y = 16*17 = 272

And Z = 272 + 1 = 273

Thus, the required numbers are

X = 182

Y = 272

Z = 273

Question-7) Without adding find the sum of the following series.

1. 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + 11 + 12
2. 25 + 27 + 29 + 31
3. 43 + 45 + 47 + 49

Solution:

Now the “sum of first n odd numbers is $$n^{2}$$”.

1) 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + 11 + 12

Here first six number are six consecutive odd numbers so there sum is

$$6^{2}$$ = 36

Thus, the sum of the given series = 36 +12 = 48

2) 25 + 27 + 29 + 31

Here the numbers given are the 13th,14th,15th and 16th odd numbers

So, there sum is

= $$16^{2} – 12^{2}$$

= 256 – 144 = 112

3) 43 + 45 + 47 + 49

Here the numbers given are the 22th, 23rd, 24th and 25th odd numbers

So, there sum is

= $$25^{2} – 21^{2}$$

= 625 – 441 = 184

Question-8)

a) Show that 81 as a sum of 9 odd numbers.

b) Show 196 as sum of 14 odd numbers

Solution:

a) 81

Now, 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + 11 + 13 + 15 + 17 = 81

i.e.

i.e. 81 = $$9^{2}$$

Thus 81 is the sum of first 9 odd numbers.

b) 196

Now, 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + 11 + 13 + 15 + 17 + 19 + 21 + 23 + 25 + 27 = 196

i.e. 196 = $$14^{2}$$

Thus 196 is the sum of first 14 odd numbers.

Question-17) A school has 1400 books in the library. The librarian wants to arrange it in such a way that number of Horizontal lines of the books and number of vertical lines of the books are same. Find out the minimum number of books that a librarian will require to add, to make this Horizontal and vertical lines same.

Solution:

Here, it is given that there are 1400 books in the library and the numbers of horizontal and vertical lines of books are same.

For finding minimum number of books that a librarian will require to add, to make this Horizontal and vertical lines same,

We need to find the number of books that should be added to 1400 to get it done.

So, calculating the square root of 1400 and finding the perfect square out of it.

 37 3 $$\overline{14}\;\overline{00}$$ -9 67 500 469 31

Here, the remainder is 31.

This represents that the square of 37 is less than 1400.

The next number is 38 and its square is i.e. $$38^{2}$$ = 1444.

Thus, the required number to be added to 1400 = $$38^{2}$$ – 1400 = 44.

Thus, the required perfect square is

$$\sqrt{1444}$$ = 38

Thus, the required number of books to be added is 44 and there will be 38 horizontal and 38 vertical lines made.

Question-18) There are 820 students in a ground. Teacher instructed students to stand in such an order that the number of rows and number of columns remain same. Calculate the number of students that would left out of this order or arrangement.

Solution:

Here, there are 820 students in a ground. Teacher instructed students to stand in such an order that the number of rows and number of columns remain same.

For finding number of students that would left out of this order or arrangement,

We need to find the square root of 820 by long division method.

 28 2 $$\overline{8}\;\overline{20}$$ -4 48 420 384 36

Here, the remainder is 36, which represents that the square of 28 is 36 less than 1820.

Hence, we will get perfect square by subtracting 36 from the 820.

Thus, the required number is = 820 – 36 = 1784

Now, $$\sqrt{1784}$$ = 28

So, the students will form 28 rows and 28 columns.

The number of student that left out of the arrangement is 36.

4096 = 2*2 * 2*2 2*2 * 2*2 * 2*2 * 2*2

$$∴\; \sqrt{4096}$$ = 2*2*2*2*2*2

$$∴\; \sqrt{4096}$$ = 64

Therefore, there are 64 employees in the Company.

Question-25) 7225 books are to be kept in a bookshelf of a library in such a way that each column contains as many books as the number of columns. Find out the number of column and number of books in each column.

Solution:

Here, it is given that each column contains as many books as the number of columns.

So, it can be said from the above statement that,

Number of books in each column = Number of Columns

∴ Total number of books = Number of columns * Number of books in each column

∴ Number of columns * Number of books in each column = 7225

$$(Number\; of\;books\;in\;each\;column)^{2}$$ = 7225

∴ Number of books in each column = $$\sqrt{7225}$$

 5 7225 5 1445 17 289 17 17 1

7225 = 5*5 * 17*17

$$∴\; \sqrt{7225}$$ = 5*17

$$∴\; \sqrt{7225}$$ = 85

∴ Number of books in each column = Number of Columns = 85

So, the number of columns and the number of books in each column is 85.

2. 22
3. 36
4. 28

Solution:

$$x> 1,2x,x^{2} – 1,x^{2} + 1$$ forms a Pythagorean Triplet

Where, $$x\in N$$

1) 12

Let us assume $$x^{2} + 1 = 12, then\;x^{2} = 11$$

Thus, the value of x will be non-integer.

So, let us assume $$x^{2} – 1 = 12, then\;x^{2} = 13$$

Thus, the value of x will be non-integer.

So, let us assume 2x = 12

∴ x = 6

the Pythagorean triplets are $$2*6, 6^{2} – 1 , 6^{2} + 1$$ i.e. 12,35,37.

2) 22

Let us assume $$x^{2} + 1 = 22, then\;x^{2} = 21$$

Thus, the value of x will be non-integer.

So, let us assume $$x^{2} – 1 = 22, then\;x^{2} = 23$$

Thus, the value of x will be non-integer.

So, let us assume 2x = 22

∴ x = 11

the Pythagorean triplets are $$2*11, 11^{2} – 1 , 11^{2} + 1$$ i.e. 22,120,122.

3) 28

Let us assume $$x^{2} + 1 = 28, then\;x^{2} = 27$$

Thus, the value of x will be non-integer.

So, let us assume $$x^{2} – 1 = 28, then\;x^{2} = 29$$

Thus, the value of x will be non-integer.

So, let us assume 2x = 28

∴ x = 14

the Pythagorean triplets are $$2*14, 14^{2} – 1 , 14^{2} + 1$$ i.e. 28,195,197.

4) 36

Let us assume $$x^{2} + 1 = 36, then\;x^{2} = 35$$

Thus, the value of x will be non-integer.

So, let us assume $$x^{2} – 1 = 36, then\;x^{2} = 37$$

Thus, the value of x will be non-integer.

So, let us assume 2x = 36

∴ x = 18

the Pythagorean triplets are $$2*18, 18^{2} – 1 , 18^{2} + 1$$ i.e. 36,323,325.
