NCERT SOLVED

1. What could be the possible ‘one’s’ digits of the square root of each of the following numbers:

(i) 9801 (ii) 99856 (iii) 998001 (iv) 657666025

Ans. Since, Unit’s digits of square of numbers are 0, 1, 4, 5, 6 and 9. Therefore, the possible unit’s digits of the given numbers are:

(i) 1 (ii) 6 (iii) 1 (iv) 5

2. Without doing any calculation, find the numbers which are surely not perfect squares:

(i) 153 (ii) 257 (iii) 408 (iv) 441

Ans. Since, all perfect square numbers contain their unit’s place digits 0, 1, 4, 5, 6 and 9.

(i) But given number 153 has its unit digit 3. So it is not a perfect square number.

(ii) Given number 257 has its unit digit 7. So it is not a perfect square number.

(iii) Given number 408 has its unit digit 8. So it is not a perfect square number.

(iv) Given number 441 has its unit digit 1. So it would be a perfect square number

3. Find the square roots of 100 and 169 by the method of repeated subtraction.

Ans. By successive subtracting odd natural numbers from 100,

100 – 1 = 99

99 – 3 = 96

96 – 5 = 91

91 – 7 = 84

84 – 9 = 75

75 – 11 = 64

64 – 13 = 51

51 – 15 = 36

36 – 17 = 19

19 – 19 = 0

This successive subtraction is completed in 10 steps.

Therefore

By successive subtracting odd natural numbers from 169,

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

This successive subtraction is completed in 13 steps.

Therefore

4. Find the square roots of the following numbers by the Prime Factorization method:

(i) 729 (ii) 400 (iii) 1764 (iv) 4096 (v) 7744

(vi) 9604 (vii) 5929 (viii) 9216 (ix) 529 (x) 8100

(ii) 400

= = 20

(iii) 1764

= = 42

(iv) 4096

= = 64

(v) 7744

= = 88

(vi) 9604

= = 98

(vii) 5929

= = 77

(viii) 9216

= = 96

(ix) 529

= 23

(x) 8100

= = 90

5. For each of the following numbers, find the smallest whole number by which it should be multiplied so as to get a perfect square number. Also, find the square root of the square number so obtained:

(i) 252 (ii) 180 (iii) 1008

(iv) 2028 (v) 1458 (vi) 768

Ans. (i)

252 =

Here, prime factor 7 has no pair. Therefore 252 must be multiplied by 7 to make it a perfect square.

= 1764

= = 42

(ii)

180 =

Here, prime factor 5 has no pair. Therefore 180 must be multiplied by 5 to make it a perfect square.

180 x 5 = 900

= = 30

(iii)

1008 =

Here, prime factor 7 has no pair. Therefore 1008 must be multiplied by 7 to make it a perfect square.

= 7056

And = = 84

(iv)

2028 =

Here, prime factor 3 has no pair. Therefore 2028 must be multiplied by 3 to make it a perfect square.
