Test: A Square and A Cube - 1 - Question 1

If 7= 343, then ∛343 = _________.

Detailed Solution: Question 1

Test: A Square and A Cube - 1 - Question 2

What will be the unit digit of the cube of a number ending with 6 ?

Detailed Solution: Question 2

Test: A Square and A Cube - 1 - Question 3

What will be the unit digit of the cube of a number ending with 2 ?

Detailed Solution: Question 3

- To find the unit digit of a number ending in 2 when cubed, we can simply cube the unit digit 2.
- The calculation is: 2 x 2 x 2 = 8.
- Therefore, the unit digit of the cube of any number ending with 2 is 8.
- This means if you take a number like 12, 22, or 52, their cubes will all have a unit digit of 8.

Test: A Square and A Cube - 1 - Question 4

What is the number of digits in the cube root of a 6-digit number?

  • 3
  • 2
  • 4
  • 6

Detailed Solution: Question 4

Any 6-digit number N satisfies 100000 ≤ N ≤ 999999. Taking cube roots gives ∛100000 ≈ 46.4 and ∛999999 ≈ 99.999. Hence the cube root of any 6-digit number lies between 46.4 and 99.999, so it must be a two-digit integer.

Test: A Square and A Cube - 1 - Question 5

The expansion of a3 is ___________.

Detailed Solution: Question 5

Test: A Square and A Cube - 1 - Question 6

The smallest natural number by which 135 must be divided to obtain a perfect cube is

Detailed Solution: Question 6

 we have 135 =  3 x 3 x 3 x 5

Grouping the prime factors of 135 into triples, we are left over with 5.
∴  135 is not a perfect cube
Now, [135]divided by5 = [ 3 x 3 x 3 x 5] divided by5
or  27 = 3 x 3 x 3
i.e. 27 is a perfect cube.
Thus, the required smallest number is 5

Test: A Square and A Cube - 1 - Question 7

What will be the unit digit of ∛216

Detailed Solution: Question 7

We can find it by Prime Factorization method 
³√216 = 2×2×2×3×3×3 
= 2 and 3 are making triplets i.e. 2 and 3 
= 2×3 = 6 Thus, we can say that 6 i.e option 'B' is correct.

Test: A Square and A Cube - 1 - Question 8

What is the volume of a cube whose edge is 2cm ?

Detailed Solution: Question 8

The volume of a cube is calculated by cubing its edge length. For an edge length of 2 cm, the volume is:

  • Volume = edge length × edge length × edge length
  • Volume = 2 cm × 2 cm × 2 cm
  • Volume = 8 cubic centimetres (cm3)

Test: A Square and A Cube - 1 - Question 9

Which of the following is Hardy-Ramanujan Number ?

Detailed Solution: Question 9

This story is very famous among mathematicians. 1729 is sometimes called the “Hardy-Ramanujan number”.
There are two ways to say that 1729 is the sum of two cubes. 1x1x1=1; 12x12x12=1728. So 1+1728=1729 But also: 9x9x9=729; 10x10x10=1000. So 729+1000=1729 There are other numbers that can be shown to be the sum of two cubes in more than one way, but 1729 is the smallest of them.
Ramanujan did not actually discover this fact. It was known in 1657 by a Frenchmathematician Bernard Franicle de Bessy.

But it got famous after the ramanujans above conversation.

So it's famously known as Ramanujan Number.

Test: A Square and A Cube - 1 - Question 10

How many zeros will be there in the cube root of 800?

Detailed Solution: Question 10

First find the cube root of 800
800 = 8 × 100

Now, 100 is not a perfect cube, so its cube root is not a whole number.
Hence, the cube root of 800 is a decimal number, not a whole number
Therefore, we can say the cube root does not exist as a whole number.
So, Correct Option: B

Test: A Square and A Cube - 1 - Question 11

By which smallest natural number 392 must be multiplied so as to make the product a perfect cube ?

Detailed Solution: Question 11


392 = 2 × 2 × 2 × 7 × 7
Hence the number should be multiplied by 7 to make it a perfect cube.

Detailed Solution: Question 16

Test: A Square and A Cube - 1 - Question 17

For a number ending with 7, the unit digit of its cube is equal to:

Detailed Solution: Question 17

If the unit digit is 7, the cube will have unit digit as 7×7×7 = 343

So, the unit digit will be 3.

Test: A Square and A Cube - 1 - Question 18

Which of the following is not a perfect cube ?

Detailed Solution: Question 18

To determine which of the following numbers is not a perfect cube, we need to check whether the number can be expressed as the cube of an integer.

  • a) 1 is a perfect cube because 1=13.
  • b) 9 is not a perfect cube. The cube root of 9 is not an integer.
  • c) 8 is a perfect cube because 8 = 23.
  • d) 27 is a perfect cube because 27 = 33.

Thus, the number that is not a perfect cube is:

b) 9.

Test: A Square and A Cube - 1 - Question 25

Find the perfect square number between 30 and 40.

Detailed Solution: Question 25

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.

Test: A Square and A Cube - 1 - Question 26

Which of the following is a perfect square number?

Test: A Square and A Cube - 1 - Question 29

How many numbers lie between square of 12 and 13

Detailed Solution: Question 29

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

Test: A Square and A Cube - 1 - Question 30

If 5278 is squared, then what will be at unit place?

Detailed Solution: Question 30

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
