Question 451. R is a positive number. It is multiplied by 8 and then squared. The square is now divided by 4 and the square root is taken. The result of the square root is Q. What is the value of Q ?
  1.    3R
  2.    4R
  3.    7R
  4.    9R
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 4R
$$\eqalign{
& \Rightarrow {\text{Q}} = \sqrt {\frac{{{{\left( {8{\text{R}}} \right)}^2}}}{4}} \cr
& \Rightarrow {\text{Q}} = \frac{{\sqrt {{{\left( {8{\text{R}}} \right)}^2}} }}{{\sqrt 4 }} \cr
& \Rightarrow {\text{Q}} = \frac{{8{\text{R}}}}{2} \cr
& \Rightarrow {\text{Q}} = 4{\text{R}} \cr} $$
Question 452. The smallest natural number which is a perfect square and which ends in 3 identical digits lies between ?
  1.    1000 and 2000
  2.    2000 and 3000
  3.    3000 and 4000
  4.    4000 and 5000
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 1000 and 2000
The smallest such number is 1444 $$\left[ {1444 = {{\left( {38} \right)}^2}} \right]$$
It lies between 1000 and 2000.
Question 453. If the product of four consecutive natural numbers increased by a natural number p, is a perfect square, then the value of p is = ?
  1.    1
  2.    2
  3.    4
  4.    8
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 1
$$\eqalign{
& {\text{We have,}} \cr
& 1 \times 2 \times 3 \times 4 = 24 \cr
& {\text{And }}24 + 1 = 25\left[ {25 = {5^2}} \right] \cr
& 2 \times 3 \times 4 \times 5 = 120{\text{ }} \cr
& {\text{And 1}}20 + 1 = 121\left[ {121 = {{11}^2}} \right] \cr
& 3 \times 4 \times 5 \times 6 = 360{\text{ }} \cr
& {\text{And }}360 + 1 = 361\left[ {361 = {{19}^2}} \right] \cr
& 4 \times 5 \times 6 \times 7 = 840{\text{ }} \cr
& {\text{And }}840 + 1 = 841\left[ {841 = {{29}^2}} \right] \cr
& \therefore p = 1 \cr} $$
Question 454. A man born in the first half of the nineteenth century was x years old in the year x2. He was born in ?
  1.    1806
  2.    1812
  3.    1825
  4.    1836
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 1806
Clearly, the man was born between 1800 and 1850 is 1849.
$${\text{And, }}1849 = {\left( {43} \right)^2}$$
So, the man was 43 years old in 1849
$$\eqalign{
& {\text{Thus, he was born in }} \cr
& = \left( {1849 - 43} \right) \cr
& = 1806 \cr} $$
Question 455. The value of $$\frac{{1 + \sqrt {0.01} }}{{1 - \sqrt {0.1} }}$$   is close to = ?

  2.    1.1
  3.    1.6
  4.    1.7
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 1.6
$$\eqalign{
& = \frac{{1 + \sqrt {0.01} }}{{1 - \sqrt {0.1} }} \cr
& = \frac{{1 + 0.1}}{{1 - 0.316}} \cr
