Solution

The correct option is A
961

Since the greatest three-digit number is 999.
Now, find the square root of 999 by long division method.
$\begin{matrix} 31 3 & ¯ 9 ¯ ¯¯¯¯ ¯ 99 - 9 61 & 099 - 61 38 \end{matrix}$
Hence, the greatest three-digit number which is a perfect square = 999 - 38 = 961.
