c) 9
d) 18
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

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.

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)

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.

Ishani Rane answered
L.C.M. of 21, 36, 66 = 2772
Now, 2772 = 2 * 2 * 3 * 3 * 7 * 11
To make it a perfect square, it must be multiplied by 7 x 11.
So, required number = 2 * 2 * 3 * 3 * 7 * 7 * 11 * 11 = 213444

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.

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

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

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.

If 5278 is squared, then what will be at unit place?
  • a)
    4
  • b)
    7
  • c)
    6
  • d)
    8
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

When squaring the number 5278, the unit digit is determined by the square of the unit digit of the original number.
Since the unit digit of 5278 is 8, squaring it gives 8 × 8 = 64.
Therefore, the unit place digit of 5278² is 4.
Therefore correct answer : Option 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

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 least number by which 13720 must be divided so that the quotient is a perfect cube
  • a)
    4     
  • b)
    2     
  • c)
    7      
  • d)
    5
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Write 13720 as product of prime numbers

13720 =2*2*2*7*7*7*5

=(2*2*2)*(7*7*7)*5

Only 5 is isolated

To make 13720 perfect cube we have to divide it with 5

The least number by which 12348 must be divided so as to have the quotient as a perfect square.
  • a)
    6     
  • b)
    7     
  • c)
    4      
  • d)
    9
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

12348 ← even number, you can divide it by 2 

= 2 * 6174 ← even number, you can divide it by 2 

= 2 * 2 * 3087 ← the sum is (3 + 0 + 8 + 7) = 18 ← 18 is divisible by 3 ← you can divide it by 3 

= 2 * 2 * 3 * 1029 ← the sum is (1 + 0 + 2 + 9) = 12 ← 12 is divisible by 3 ← you can divide it by 3 

= 2 * 2 * 3 * 3 * 343 ← you know that 343 is divisible by 7 

= 2 * 2 * 3 * 3 * 7 * 49 ← recall: 49 = 7^2 

= 2 * 2 * 3 * 3 * 7 * 7^2

= 2^2 * 3^2 * 7^2 * 7 

= (2 * 3 * 7)2 * 7 

= 42^2 * 7 ← the number is 7 → 12348/7 = 42^2 ← this is the perfect square

Find the greatest perfect square of 5 digits.
  • a)
    99825          
  • b)
    99856
  • c)
    90825
  • d)
    90856
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Prerna Sen answered
We know that the largest 5 digit number is 99999. So let us check whether it is a perfect or not ? So here we can see that 99999 is not a perfect square as it leaves 143 as the remainder while finding it s square root. Hence 99856 is a perfect square whose square root is √99856 = 316.

The value of given the value of = 7.28 is
a)101.92
b)102.86
c)101.48
d)102.94
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Kendrika answered
As we know root 53 = 7.28
So
We can write
Root 10388 = root 53×196
= root 53× root 196 ( put the vale of root 53 and root 196)
= 7.28×14
= 101.92 Is the answer .

Find the least square number exactly divisible by 8, 9 and 10
  • a)
    3200
  • b)
    3500
  • c)
    4000
  • d)
    3600
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Aarav Sharma answered
The least square number that is exactly divisible by 8, 9, and 10 can be found by finding the least common multiple (LCM) of these three numbers.

To find the LCM, we need to find the prime factorization of each number and then take the highest power of each prime factor.

Prime factorization of 8:
8 = 2^3

Prime factorization of 9:
9 = 3^2

Prime factorization of 10:
10 = 2 * 5

Now, we can take the highest power of each prime factor:
2^3 * 3^2 * 5 = 360

So, the least square number that is exactly divisible by 8, 9, and 10 is 360^2 = 129,600.

Among the given options, the number 3600 is the closest to 129,600.

Therefore, the correct answer is option D) 3600.

Kavya Saxena answered
By division method we find the root of 9999 and we get the remainder 198.So subtracting 198 from 9999 we get 9801 as the greatest 4-digit perfect square.
