Question 3: Find the smallest number by which 180 must be multiplied so that it becomes a perfect square. Also, find the square root of the perfect square so obtained.

Answer 3: The prime factorisation of 180:
180 = 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 5
Grouping the factors into pairs of equal factors, we get:
180 = (2 x 2) x (3 x 3) x 5
The factor, 5 does not have a pair. Therefore, we must multiply 180 by 5 to make a perfect square. The new number is:
(2 x 2) x (3 x 3) x (5 x 5) = 900
Taking one factor from each pair on the LHS, the square root of the new number is 2 x 3 x 5, which is equal to 30.

Answer 6: The prime factorisation of 1152:
1152 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3
Grouping the factors into pairs of equal factors, we get:
1152 = (2 x 2) x (2 x 2) x (2 x 2) x (3 x 3) x 2
The factor, 2, at the end, does not have a pair. Therefore, we must divide 1152 by 2 to make a perfect square. The new number is:
(2 x 2) x (2 x 2) x (2 x 2) x (3 x 3) = 576
Taking one factor from each pair on the LHS, the square root of the new number is 2 x 2 x 2 x 3, which is equal to 24. 

Question 7: The product of two numbers is 1296. If one number is 16 times the other, find the numbers.

Answer 7: Let the two numbers be a and b.
From the first statement, we have:
b = 1296
If one number is 16 times the other, then we have:
b = 16 x a.
Substituting this value in the first equation, we get:
a x (16 x a) = 1296
By simplifying both sides, we get:
a2 = 1296/16 = 81
Hence, a is the square root of 81, which is 9.
To find b, use equation = 16 x a.
Since = 9:
= 16 x 9 = 144
So, the two numbers satisfying the question are 9 and 144. 

Question 8: A welfare association collected Rs 202500 as donation from the residents. If each paid as many rupees as there were residents, find the number of residents.

Answer 8: Let R be the number of residents.
Let r be the money in rupees donated by each resident.
Total donation = R x r = 202500
Since the money received as donation is the same as the number of residents:
 r = R.
Substituting this in the first equation, we get:
R x R = 202500
R2 = 202500
R2 = (2 x 2) x (5 x 5) x (5 x 5) x (3 x 3)2
R = 2 x 5 x 5 x 3 x 3 = 450
So, the number of residents is 450. 

Question 9: A society collected Rs 92.16. Each member collected as many paise as there were members. How many members were there and how much did each contribute?

Answer 9: Let be the number of members.
Let be the amount in paise donated by each member.
The total contribution can be expressed as follows:
M x r = Rs 92.16 = 9216 paise
Since the amount received as donation is the same as the number of members:
 r = M
Substituting this in the first equation, we get:
M x M = 9216
M2 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3
M2 = (2 x 2) x (2 x 2) x (2 x 2) x (2 x 2) x (2 x 2) x (3 x 3)
M = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 = 96
To find r, we can use the relation r = M.
Let be the number of members.
Let be the amount in paise donated by each member.
The total contribution can be expressed as follows:
M x r = Rs 92.16 = 9216 paise
Since the amount received as donation is the same as the number of members:
 r = 96
So, there are 96 members and each paid 96 paise. 

Question 10: A school collected Rs 2304 as fees from its students. If each student paid as many paise as there were students in the school, how many students were there in the school?

Answer 10: Let S be the number of students.
Let be the money donated by each student.
The total contribution can be expressed by (S)(r) = Rs 2304
Since each student paid as many paise as the number of students, then r = S. Substituting this in the first equation, we get:
S x S = 2304
S2 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3
S2 = (2 x 2) x (2 x 2) x (2 x 2) x (2 x 2) x (3 x 3)
S = 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 = 48
So, there are 48 students in total in the school. 

Question 11: The area of a square field is 5184 cm2. A rectangular field, whose length is twice its breadth has its perimeter equal to the perimeter of the square field. Find the area of the rectangular field.

Answer 11: First, we have to find the perimeter of the square.
The area of the square is r2, where r is the side of the square.
Then, we have the equation as follows:
r2 = 5184 = (2 x 2) x (2 x 2) x (2 x 2) x (3 x 3) x (3 x 3)
Taking the square root, we get r = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 = 72
Hence the perimeter of the square is 4 x = 288 m
Now let L be the length of the rectangular field.
Let W be the width of the rectangular field.
The perimeter is equal to the perimeter of square. 
Hence, we have:
2(L + W) = 288
Moreover, since the length is twice the width:
L = 2 x W.
Substituting this in the previous equation, we get:
2 x (2 x W + W) = 288
               3 x W = 144
                     W = 48
To find L:
L = 2 x W = 2 x 48 = 96
∴ Area of the rectangular field = L x W = 96 x 48 = 4608 m2 

Question 12: Find the least square number, exactly divisible by each one of the numbers:
(i) 6, 9, 15 and 20
(ii) 8, 12, 15 and 20

Answer 12: (i) The smallest number divisible by 6, 9, 15 and 20 is their L.C.M., which is equal to 60.
Factorising 60 into its prime factors:
60 = 2 x 2 x 3 x 5
Grouping them into pairs of equal factors:
60 = (2 x 2) x 3 x 5
The factors 3 and 5 are not paired. To make 60 a perfect square, we have to multiply it by 3 x 5, i.e . by 15.
The perfect square is 60 x 15, which is equal to 900.
(i) The smallest number divisible by 8, 12, 15 and 20 is their L.C.M., which is equal to 120.
Factorising 120 into its prime factors:
120 = 2 x 2 x 2 x 3 x 5
Grouping them into pairs of equal factors:
120 = (2 x 2) x 2 x 3 x 5
The factors 2, 3 and 5 are not paired. To make 120 into a perfect square, we have to multiply it by 2 x 3 x 5, i.e. by 30.
The perfect square is 120 x 30, which is equal to 3600. 

Question 13: Find the square roots of 121 and 169 by the method of repeated subtraction.

Answer 13: To find the square root of 121:
121 − 1 = 120
120 − 3 = 117
117 − 5 = 112
112 − 7 = 105

169 − 1 = 168
168 − 3 = 165
165 − 5 = 160
160 − 7 = 153
153 − 9 = 144
144 − 11 = 133
133 − 13 = 120
120 − 15 = 105
105 − 17 = 88
88 − 19 = 69
69 − 21 = 48
48 − 23 = 25
25 − 25 = 0
In total, there are 13 numbers to subtract from 169. Hence, the square root of 169 is 13.

FAQs on RD Sharma Solutions for Class 8 Math Chapter 3 - Squares and Square Roots (Part-3) - RD Sharma Solutions for Class 8 Mathematics

1. What is the difference between a square and a square root?
Ans. A square of a number is the product of that number multiplied by itself. For example, the square of 4 is 4 x 4 = 16. On the other hand, a square root of a number is a value that, when multiplied by itself, gives the original number. For example, the square root of 16 is 4 because 4 x 4 = 16.
2. How can I find the square root of a number without using a calculator?
Ans. To find the square root of a number without using a calculator, you can use the prime factorization method. First, find the prime factors of the number. Then, group the factors in pairs and take one factor from each pair. Multiply these factors together to get the square root of the original number.
3. Can a perfect square be a negative number?
Ans. No, a perfect square cannot be a negative number. A perfect square is always a non-negative number because it is the square of a real number. However, if we consider complex numbers, then the square of a complex number can be negative.
4. How can I determine if a number is a perfect square?
Ans. To determine if a number is a perfect square, you can take the square root of the number. If the square root is a whole number, then the original number is a perfect square. For example, the square root of 25 is 5, which is a whole number, so 25 is a perfect square.
5. What is the square root of 0?
Ans. The square root of 0 is 0. When a number is multiplied by itself to get 0, the number itself is 0. Therefore, the square root of 0 is 0.
