 | Amita Verma answered |
Since, 1 x 1 = 1
2 x 2 = 4
3 x 3 = 9
4 x 4 = 16
5 x 5 = 25
6 x 6 = 36
7 x 7 = 49
Thus, 36 is a perfact square number between 30 and 40.

 | Shiksha Academy answered |
A number ending with 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9 , 0 then it's cube ends with 1 , 8 , 7 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 3 , 2 , 0 respectively
⇒ One's digit of 5832= 2
⇒ Cube of 2=23 = 8
⇒ Cube of 2=23 = 8
So, the one's digit of cube of 5832=8

| | Kavya Saxena answered |
A natural number is said to be a perfect cube if it is the cube of some natural number.
Example
8 = 2 x 2 x 2
8 = 2 3
8 is the perfect cube because it is a cube of 2 which is a natural number.
But 12 is not a perfect cube because it is not a cube of any natural numbers.
Example
8 = 2 x 2 x 2
8 = 2 3
8 is the perfect cube because it is a cube of 2 which is a natural number.
But 12 is not a perfect cube because it is not a cube of any natural numbers.

 | Devanshi Ahuja answered |
Find prime factors of 5400
5400=2×3×3×3×2×2×5×5
If we group them in the group of 3
5400=(2×2×2)×(3×3×3)×5×5
Here to make group of 3 for 5
We have to multiply 5400 by 5.

| | Alok Verma answered |
LCM of 21, 36, 66 = 2772
i.e., all multiples of 2772 are divisible by 21, 36 and 66
Prime factorization of 2772 is,
2772 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 7 × 11
i.e., to make it a perfect square, we have to multiply it by 7 and 11
Hence, required number = 2772 × 7 × 11 = 213444
i.e., all multiples of 2772 are divisible by 21, 36 and 66

| | Avinash Sharma answered |
As we know that (a²-b²) = (a+b) (a-b)
Therefore 14² - 2²x13 = 144.
So √144 = 12.
Therefore 14² - 2²x13 = 144.
So √144 = 12.

 | Sanjana Bose answered |
A number is a perfect square (or a square number) if its square root is an integer; that is to say, it is the product of an integer with itself. Here, the square root of 1681 is 41.
Therefore, the square root of 1681 is an integer, and as a consequence 1681 is a perfect square.
As a consequence, 41 is the square root of 1681.

 | Ishani Rane answered |
L.C.M of 21,36,66=2772
Now, 2772=2*2*3*3*7*11
Hence to make it a perfect square , it must be multiplied by 7*11
∴ The required number is 2^2*3^3*7^2*11^2
= 213444

Identifying a Perfect Cube
A perfect cube is a number that can be expressed as the product of three identical factors. For example, 27 is a perfect cube because it can be expressed as 3 x 3 x 3. To determine whether a number is a perfect cube, we need to find the cube root of that number. Here, we are given four options, and we can use the cube root method to identify the perfect cube.
Solution
a) 125
The cube root of 125 is 5. Since 125 can be expressed as 5 x 5 x 5, it is a perfect cube. Therefore, option A is the correct answer.
b) 135
The cube root of 135 is approximately 5.5. Since 5.5 is not a whole number, 135 is not a perfect cube.
c) 145
The cube root of 145 is approximately 5.7. Since 5.7 is not a whole number, 145 is not a perfect cube.
d) 115
The cube root of 115 is approximately 4.8. Since 4.8 is not a whole number, 115 is not a perfect cube.
Therefore, the only perfect cube among the given options is 125, which is option A.

| | Isha Desai answered |
The cube of a natural odd number is always odd.
For natural numbers, we know,
odd x odd = odd
odd x even = even
even x even = even.
So, cube of a natural odd number is
odd x odd x odd
= odd x odd
= odd.
Eg.: Cube of an odd number 3 is 27, which is also odd.
For natural numbers, we know,
odd x odd = odd
odd x even = even
even x even = even.
So, cube of a natural odd number is
odd x odd x odd
= odd x odd
= odd.
Eg.: Cube of an odd number 3 is 27, which is also odd.
