Shashwat Singh answered
The answer is 1681 because it is the only number which has it's last digit as a number which a perfect square can have . 9×9=81 the last digit is 1.

Find the perfect square number between 30 and 40.

    36
  • b)
    49
  • c)
    25
  • d)
    none of these
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

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.

    cube number
  • b)
    square numbers
  • c)
    natural number
  • d)
    none of these
Correct answer is 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

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.

What is the least perfect square which is divisible by each of 21, 36 and 66?
  • a)
    213444
  • b)
    214434
  • c)
    214344
  • d)
    231444
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

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

  • a)
    8
  • b)
    9
  • c)
    10
  • d)
    12
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Avinash Sharma answered
As we know that  (a²-b²) = (a+b) (a-b)
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.

The least perfect square, which is divisible by each of 21, 36 and 66 is:
  • a)
    213444
  • b)
    214344
  • c)
    214434
  • d)

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

How many numbers lie between square of 12 and 13
  • a)
    22
  • b)
    23
  • c)
    24
  • d)
    25
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Rhea Reddy answered
122 = 12*12 = 144
132 = 13*13 = 169
Now numbers are between144 and 169 are:
145, 146, 147,.............168
Total number = 24
So total numbers lies between 144 and 169 is 24

729 is the value of  _______________.
  • a)
    83
  • b)
    93
  • c)
    63
  • d)
    43
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Rhea Kaur answered
To determine the value of 729, we need to examine the options given in the question and choose the correct one.

Let's analyze each option:

a) 83: This option does not seem to be related to the number 729. The digits in 729 do not match the digits in 83.

b) 93: This option also does not seem to be related to the number 729. Again, the digits in 729 do not match the digits in 93.

c) 63: This option does not seem to be related to the number 729 either. The digits in 729 do not match the digits in 63.

d) 43: This option does not seem to be related to the number 729. Once again, the digits in 729 do not match the digits in 43.

Therefore, none of the options provided correspond to the value of 729. As a result, the correct answer is not given in the options provided.

In conclusion, the given options are incorrect, and there is no correct answer provided for the value of 729.

What will be the unit digit of ∛216
  • a)
    3
  • b)
    6
  • c)
    4  
  • d)
    2
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

We can find it by Prime Factorization method 
³√216 = 2×2×2×3×3×3 
= 2 and 3 are making triplets i.e. 2 and 3 
= 2×3 = 6 Thus, we can say that 6 i.e option 'B' is correct.

How many zeros will be there in the cube root of 800?
  • a)
    3
  • b)
    0
  • c)
    1  
  • d)
    cube root does not exist 
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Answer:

To find the number of zeros in the cube root of 800, we need to determine the prime factors of 800 and see if there are any groups of 3.

Prime Factorization of 800:
800 can be written as 2^5 * 5^2

Explanation:
Step 1: Prime Factorization of 800
800 can be expressed as the product of its prime factors as shown below:

800 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 2 * 5 * 5

Expressing it in exponential form:

800 = 2^5 * 5^2

Step 2: Finding the Cube Root
To find the cube root of 800, we need to find a number that, when multiplied by itself 3 times, gives us 800.

Let's consider the prime factors:

2^5 * 5^2

To form groups of 3, we need to take one factor from each group of 2 and take one factor from the group of 5. However, there is no group of 3 available.

Therefore, the cube root of 800 does not exist as an integer.

Step 3: Counting the Number of Zeros
Since the cube root of 800 does not exist, there are no zeros in the cube root of 800.

Hence, the correct answer is option D) Cube root does not exist.
