Answer: Option C. -> 1024
Least number of 4 digits is 1000
$$\eqalign{
& \,\,\,\,3|\overline {10} \,\,\overline {00} \,\,(31 \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,|\,\,\,\,9 \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,| - - - - - - \cr
& 61|\,\,\,\,\,1\,00 \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,|\,\,\,\,\,\,61 \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,| - - - - - - \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,39 \cr
& \therefore {\left( {31} \right)^2} < 1000 < {\left( {32} \right)^2} \cr
& {\text{Hence, required number}} \cr
& = {\left( {32} \right)^2} \cr
& = 1024 \cr} $$

& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,| - - - - - - \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,16\,45 \cr
& \therefore {\text{Number to be added}} \cr
& = {\left( {825} \right)^2} - 680621 \cr
& = 680625 - 680621 \cr
& = 4 \cr} $$

& \therefore {\text{Required number}} \cr
& = \left( {9999 - 198} \right) \cr
& = 9801 \cr} $$

& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,|\,\,\,11\,69 \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,| - - - - - - \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,1\,31 \cr
& \therefore {\text{Number to be added}} \cr
& = {\left( {88} \right)^2} - 7700 \cr
& = 7744 - 7700 \cr
& = 44 \cr} $$
Question 465. The number of trees in each row of a garden is equal to the total number of rows in the garden. After 111 trees have been uprooted in a storm, there remain 10914 trees in the garden. The number of rows of trees in the garden is = ?

Answer: Option A. -> 1367631
$$\eqalign{
& {\text{Let,}} \cr
& {\text{ }}99 \times 21 - \root 3 \of x = 1968 \cr
& {\text{Then,}} \cr
& \Leftrightarrow 2079 - \root 3 \of x = 1968 \cr
& \Leftrightarrow \root 3 \of x = 2079 - 1968 \cr
& \Leftrightarrow \root 3 \of x = 111 \cr
& \Leftrightarrow x = {\left( {111} \right)^3} \cr
& \Leftrightarrow x = 1367631 \cr} $$

Answer: Option D. -> 177
$$\eqalign{
& = 262144 \cr
& = 8 \times 8 \times 8 \times 8 \times 8 \times 8 \cr
& = {8^6} \cr
& \therefore \root 3 \of {262144} \cr

& {\text{Let, }} \cr
& {\text{1728}} \div \root 3 \of {262144} \times x - 288 = 4491 \cr
& {\text{Then,}} \cr
& \Leftrightarrow 1728 \div 64 \times x - 288 = 4491 \cr
& \Leftrightarrow 27x = 4779 \cr
& \Leftrightarrow x = \frac{{4779}}{{27}} \cr

Question 468. A mobile company offered to pay the Indian Cricket Team as much money per run scored by the side as the total number it gets in a one-dayer against Australia. Which one of the following cannot be the total amount to be spent by the company in this deal ?
  1.    21904
  2.    56169
  3.    101761
  4.    121108
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 121108
Clearly, the required number must be a perfect square. Since a number having 8 as the unit's digit cannot be a perfect square, so 121108 is not a perfect square.
Question 469. 1250 oranges were distributed among a group of girls of a class. Each girl got twice as many oranges as the number of girls in that group. The number of girls in the group was = ?
  1.    25
  2.    45
  3.    50
  4.    100
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 25
Let the number of girls in the group be x
Then, number of oranges given to each girl = 2x
$$\eqalign{
& \therefore x \times 2x = 1250 \cr
& \Leftrightarrow 2{x^2} = 1250 \cr
& \Leftrightarrow {x^2} = 625 \cr
& \Leftrightarrow x = 25 \cr} $$
Question 470. By what least number must 21600 be multiplied so as to make it perfect cube ?
  1.    6
  2.    10
  3.    20
  4.    30
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 10
$$21600 = {2^5} \times {3^3} \times {5^2}$$
To make it a perfect cube, it must be multiplied by (2 × 5), i.e., 10
