Which of the following is a square number?
  • a)
    20
  • b)
    24
  • c)
    25
  • d)
    30
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Gunjan Lakhani answered
A square number is a number that can be represented as the product of an integer multiplied by itself. 25 is a square number because it is equal to 5x5.

Because other words  are not related to mathematics. Words, colours and sounds are related to Science.

If you start with the number 1 and keep adding 2, what sequence are you creating?
  • a)
    Even numbers
  • b)
    Prime numbers
  • c)
    Odd numbers
  • d)
    Square numbers
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Dr Manju Sen answered
Adding 2 repeatedly to the number 1 creates a sequence of odd numbers (1, 3, 5, 7, and so on). This is because odd numbers are separated by a difference of 2.

If you start with the number 2 and keep adding 2, what sequence are you creating?

    Odd numbers
  • b)
    Square numbers
  • c)
    Even numbers
  • d)
    Prime numbers
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Adding 2 repeatedly to the number 2 creates a sequence of even numbers (2, 4, 6, 8, and so on). This is because even numbers are separated by a difference of 2.

  • triangular number is a number that can form an equilateral triangle. The sequence of triangular numbers is: 1, 3, 6, 10, 15, 21, 28, 36, 45, ...
  • square number is a number that is the square of an integer. The sequence of square numbers is: 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, ...
The number 36 appears in both sequences:
  • It is the 8th triangular number: 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 = 36.
  • It is also the 6th square number: 6 * 6 = 36.
Thus, 36 is both a triangular number and a square number.

How many dots are in the third triangular number?
  • a)
    3
  • b)
    6
  • c)
    9
  • d)
    12
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Understanding Triangular Numbers
Triangular numbers are a sequence of numbers that can form an equilateral triangle. The nth triangular number is the total number of dots that can be arranged in a triangle with n rows.

Formula for Triangular Numbers
To find the nth triangular number, we use the formula:
  • T(n) = n(n + 1) / 2


Here, T(n) represents the nth triangular number.

Calculating the Third Triangular Number
To find the third triangular number (n = 3):
  • T(3) = 3(3 + 1) / 2
  • T(3) = 3(4) / 2
  • T(3) = 12 / 2
  • T(3) = 6


So, the third triangular number is 6.

Visualizing the Third Triangular Number
You can visualize the arrangement of dots as follows:
  • First row: 1 dot
  • Second row: 2 dots
  • Third row: 3 dots


When you add these up:
  • 1 + 2 + 3 = 6


This confirms that the total number of dots in the third triangular number is indeed 6.

Conclusion
Thus, the correct answer to the question about the number of dots in the third triangular number is option 'B', which is 6.

Which of the following shapes is a regular polygon?
  • a)
    Rectangle
  • b)
    Square
  • c)
    Circle
  • d)
    Ellipse
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

EduRev Class 6 answered
A square is a regular polygon because it has equal-length sides and equal angles. The other shapes do not meet both criteria.

What do regular polygons and number sequences have in common?
  • a)
    They both have colors
  • b)
    They both have patterns
  • c)
    They both are three-dimensional
  • d)
    They both are random
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Regular Polygons and Number Sequences:
Regular polygons and number sequences have a commonality in the sense that both exhibit patterns. Let's delve into the details:

Regular Polygons:
- Regular polygons are two-dimensional shapes with equal sides and angles.
- They follow a specific pattern in terms of the number of sides and angles they possess.
- For example, a triangle has 3 sides and 3 angles, a square has 4 sides and 4 angles, and so on.
- The pattern in regular polygons lies in the relationship between the number of sides and the interior angles.

Number Sequences:
- Number sequences are ordered lists of numbers that follow a specific pattern or rule.
- They can be arithmetic, geometric, Fibonacci, etc., each with its own pattern.
- For example, in an arithmetic sequence, each term is obtained by adding a constant value to the previous term.
- In a geometric sequence, each term is obtained by multiplying the previous term by a constant value.

Commonality - Patterns:
- The commonality between regular polygons and number sequences is that both exhibit patterns.
- Regular polygons follow a pattern in the number of sides and angles they possess.
- Number sequences follow a pattern in the way each term is derived from the previous term.
- Recognizing and understanding these patterns is crucial in solving problems related to both regular polygons and number sequences.

What is the next number in the sequence 1, 4, 9, 16...?
  • a)
    20
  • b)
    24
  • c)
    25
  • d)
    30
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Ashutosh Verma answered
Understanding the Sequence
The given sequence is: 1, 4, 9, 16...
Each number in this sequence is a perfect square.
Identifying the Pattern
- The first number (1) is \(1^2\).
- The second number (4) is \(2^2\).
- The third number (9) is \(3^2\).
- The fourth number (16) is \(4^2\).
Thus, the pattern is that the \(n\)-th term in the sequence is given by \(n^2\).
Finding the Next Number
To find the next number in the sequence, we need to calculate \(5^2\):
- \(5^2 = 25\)
Conclusion
The next number in the sequence is 25, which corresponds to option 'C'.
- This confirms that the sequence consists of the squares of consecutive integers: \(1^2, 2^2, 3^2, 4^2, 5^2\).
Understanding this pattern is crucial for solving similar problems in the future.

What pattern do the numbers 3, 6, 9, 12 follow?
  • a)
    Adding 1
  • b)
    Multiple of  2
  • c)
    Multiple of 3
  • d)
    Adding 5
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

The sequence 3, 6, 9, 12 follows the pattern of multiplying by 3. This creates a sequence where each number is a multiple of 3.

Which of the following shapes is a three-dimensional object?
  • a)
    Square
  • b)
    Triangle
  • c)
    Circle
  • d)
    Cube
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Coachify answered
A cube is a three-dimensional object with equal sides and angles in all directions, while the other shapes are two-dimensional.

The missing term in the sequence  1, 3, 6, __, 15, __ is.
  • a)
    25
  • b)
    9
  • c)
    10
  • d)
    8
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Praveen Kumar answered
The given sequence is: 1, 3, 6, __, 15, __.
This sequence follows the pattern of triangular numbers, where each term is the sum of consecutive integers:
  • 1 = 1
  • 1 + 2 = 3
  • 3 + 3 = 6
  • 6 + 4 = 10
  • 10 + 5 = 15
So, the missing term in the sequence is 10.
The correct answer is (c) 10.

What is the sum of the first three odd numbers?
  • a)
    5
  • b)
    7
  • c)
    9
  • d)
    12
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Coachify answered
The first three odd numbers are 1, 3, and 5. Adding them together gives 1 + 3 + 5 = 9.

Look at the pattern of shapes below:

What shape comes next in the pattern?
  • a)
  • b)
  • c)
  • d)
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Coachify answered
The pattern alternates between a blue circle () and a yellow diamond (). After the last shape (), the next shape will be a yellow diamond ().
So, the correct answer is A: .
