Solution

  1. The unit digit of the square of the number 55555 will be 5.
  2. 36864
    By placing bars, we get 3¯68¯64¯
    Since there are 3 bars, the square root will be of 3 digits.
    1. True
    2. True
    3. True
    4. False
    1. 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + 11 + 13
    2. 1.1
    3. 4 and 5
    4. 14
    1. (d)
    2. (c)
    3. (b)
    4. (a)
  3. (i) 222000. The number 222000 is not a square number because the number of zeroes at end of a square number ending with zeros is always even.
    (ii) 505050. The number 505050 is not a square number because the number of zeroes at the end of a square number ending with zeros is always even.
  4. The number 1069 ends in 9. But we cannot say that 1069 is a perfect square number.
    3432, 2453, 5447, 6758, 4562

  5. This shows that 152 < 252
    Next perfect square is 162 = 256
    Hence, the number to be added is 16– 252 = 256 – 252 = 4
    Therefore, the perfect square so obtained is 252 + 4 = 256
    Hence, 256 = 16.

  6. This shows that 202 is less than 402 by 2. This means, if we subtract the remainder from the number, we get a perfect square, So, the required least number is 2.
    Therefore, the required perfect square is 402 – 2 = 400.
    Hence, 400=20.
  7. 14700 = 5× 5 × 2 × 2 × 7 × 7 × 3
    = (5× 5) × (2 × 2) × (7 × 7) × 3
    Since the factor 3 is not in pair.
    ∴ The given number should be divide by 3.
    14700 ÷ 3 = 4900
    √4900 = 70
  8. 125×320=125×320
    =5×25×5×64
    =5×5×5×5×8×8
    =5×5×8
    =25×8=200
  9. The prime factorisation of 252 is 252 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 7
    We see that prime factor 7 has no pair. So, if we divide 252 by 7, then we get

    252 ÷ 7 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 3
    Now each prime factor has a pair. Therefore, 252 ÷ 7 = 36 is a perfect square. Thus, the required smallest number is 7.
    Hence, 36 = 2 × 3 = 6.
