Sohini Das answered
Between 92 and 102
Here, n = 9 and n + 1 = 10
∴ Natural number between 92 and 102 are (2 × n) or 2 x 9, i.e. 18.

  • c)
    1681
  • d)
    1057
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

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.
  • a)
    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.

Gunjan Lakhani answered
The number of non square numbers
between n² and ( n + 1 )² is 2n
Here,
n = 12,
n + 1 = 13
Therefore ,
Number of natural numbers lie
between 12² and 13² = 2 × 12
= 24

Since the square of an odd natural number is odd and that of an even number is an even number.
∴    (i)  The square of 431 is an odd number
(∵  431 is an odd number)
(ii)   The square of 2826 is an even nnumber.
(∵ 2826 is an even number)
(iii) The square of 7779 is an odd number
(∵ 7779 is an odd number)
(iv)  The square of 131 is an odd nnumber.
(∵ 82004 is an odd number)

Nikita Singh answered
Step 1:
  • We now need to obtain the digital root of the number. Here's how you do it:
  • Split the number up and add each digit together:
    1 + 6 + 6 + 4 + 1 = 18
  • If the answer is more than one digit, you would add each digit of the answer together again:
    1 + 8 = 9
  • What is the digital root of number 16,641?
    Answer: 9
Step 2:
  • So now we know the digital root of 16,641 is 9. Is 9 in the list of digital roots that are always a square root (1, 4, 7 or 9)?
  • Answer: YES, 9 is in the list of digital roots that are always perfect squares. We can conclude that 16,641 could be a perfect square!
Factoring
  • OK, so now we know that 16,641 could be a perfect square. We have to find the factors of the number to be sure.
  • Here are all of the factors of 16,641:
    (1 x 16,641) (3 x 5,547) (9 x 1,849) (43 x 387) (129 x 129)
Hence the answer is 129.

Q.
Which of the following is a perfect square number?
  • a)
    222222
  • b)
    23453
  • c)
    1681
  • d)
    1057
Correct answer is 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

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.

By which smallest number 48 must be divided so as to make it a perfect square ?
  • a)
    2
  • b)
    3
  • c)
    6
  • d)
    4
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Anita Menon answered
By Prime factorisation, we have 48=2*2*2*2*3. We have two pairs of 2 but no pair of 3. Hence 48 must be divided by 3 to make it a perfect square.

Can you explain the answer of this question below:

  • A:

  • B:

    7/36

  • C:

    36/7

  • D:

The answer is c.

Meera Rana answered
► Using identity, (a-b)2 = a2 + b2 - 2ab
► Here a = √7 and b = 1/√7
 
= (√7)+ (1/√7)2 - 2. √7.1/√7
= 7 + 1/7 - 2
= 5 + 1/7
= 36/7

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

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

2025 plants are to be planted in a garden in such a way that each row contains as many plants as the number of rows. Find the number of plants in each row.
  • a)
    55
  • b)
    65
  • c)
    45
  • d)
    none of these
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Rajeev Kumar answered
Let the number of rows be x
Thus, the each row contains x plants.
The total number of plants in the garden = number of rows × number of plants in each rows
Thus,
   2025=x×x
=>x=2025
=>x=  3×3×3×3×5×5
​       =3×3×5
        =45
Thus, there are 45 rows and each row contains 45 plants.

What is the length of the diagonal of a rectangle having dimensions 3 cm and 4 cm?

    5    
  • b)
    7
  • c)
    1                                
  • d)
    4
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

EduRev Class 8 answered

Here let us consider ABCD is a rectangle given in the figure.
AD = 3 cm (Breadth)
DC = 4 cm (Length)
To Find:
AC (Diagonal)
We know that, Triangle ADC is a right triangle, right angled at D. So by using Pythagorus Theorem
Length^2 + Breadth^2 = Hypotenuse^2     (diagonal)
DC^2 + AD^2 = AC^2
=> 4^2 + 3^2 = AC^2
=> 16 + 9 = AC^2
=> 25 = AC^2
=> AC = √25 = 5
Therefore the length of the diagonal AC is 5 cm. 

In a right angle triangle ABC, right angled at B, AB = 6cm, BC = 8cm ,then AC = ____ .
  • a)
    10
  • b)
    12
  • c)
    21
  • d)
    14
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Aarav Sharma answered
Given information:
- In a right-angled triangle ABC, angle B is right-angled.
- AB = 6 cm, BC = 8 cm.

To find: AC.

We can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve this problem. The Pythagorean theorem states that in a right-angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse (the side opposite the right angle) is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides.

Applying the Pythagorean theorem, we have:

AC^2 = AB^2 + BC^2

Substituting the given values, we get:

AC^2 = 6^2 + 8^2
AC^2 = 36 + 64
AC^2 = 100

Taking the square root of both sides, we get:

AC = √100
AC = 10

Hence, the length of side AC is 10 cm.

Answer: a) 10 cm.
