Solution:
To find the greatest perfect square of 5 digits, we need to first find the smallest and largest perfect squares of 5 digits.
Smallest perfect square of 5 digits:
The smallest perfect square of 5 digits is the square of the square root of the smallest 5-digit number, which is 100. Thus, the smallest perfect square of 5 digits is 10000.
Largest perfect square of 5 digits:
The largest perfect square of 5 digits is the square of the square root of the largest 5-digit number, which is 99999. Thus, the largest perfect square of 5 digits is 9999820001.
Now, we need to check which of the given options lies between 10000 and 9999820001 and is also a perfect square.
Checking the options:
a) 99825 = 315^2 - NOT a perfect square
b) 99856 = 316^2 - a perfect square
c) 90825 = 301^2 - NOT a perfect square
d) 90856 = 301.5^2 - NOT a perfect square
Therefore, the greatest perfect square of 5 digits is option 'B', which is 99856.
