The square root of 729 should have 3 or 7 in its unit place. Because square of 3 and 7 has 9 in it's units place.Only 27 satisfies this.
Thus, Aman's cousin gets 27 coins as a birthday gift.
Also, we can find the square root using prime factorization as
729=3×3×3×3×3×3
729=36
Square root of 729 is equal to
√729=√36=33=27
