Question 1.


What will be the number of zeroes in the square of 60?


  1.     2
  2.     1
  3.     3
  4.     4
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 2
:
A

If a number ends with n zeroes, its square will end with 2n zeroes. 
Here, 60 ends with one zero, so its square will end with 2 zeroes.
It is important to note that this stands true only for natural numbers (not decimals).


Question 2.


Which of the following will have 1 in its unit's place?


  1.     1232
  2.     1612
  3.     822
  4.     772
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 1612
:
B

The square of a number will end in 1, if the digit in the units place is either 1 or 9 .
We know that 12=1 and 92=81.
Among the given options, 161 has 1 in its units place. 
Hence, (161)2 will have 1 in its units place.


Question 3.


Which of the following could be a perfect square?


  1.     1681
  2.     23453
  3.     222222
  4.     1057
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 1681
:
A

Perfect squares cannot have 2, 3, 7 or 8 in their unit's place.
In the given options only 1681 does not end with a number other than these.
The perfect squares of numbers ending in 1 and 9 have 1 at their unit's place. 
Thus, 1681 could be a perfect square of an integer ending with either 1 or 9.


Question 4.


If A, B, C, ..., X, Y, Z represents digits, which of the following could be a perfect square?


  1.     XX1
  2.     ABC2
  3.     PQR7
  4.     Can't be said without actual calculation
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> XX1
:
A

The numbers 7, 2 and 3 do not appear in the unit place of any perfect square. So, ABC2 and PQR7 can not be perfect squares and XX1 is the only number which could be a perfect square.


Question 5.


Simplify 
81


  1.     27
  2.     3
  3.     9
  4.     Can't be determined
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 3
:
B

81 
=(9×9)        [9×9=92=81]
=(9)                  [92=9]=(3×3)           [3×3=32=9]=3


Question 6.


Square of a perfect cube is another perfect cube.


  1.     True
  2.     False
  3.     9
  4.     Can't be determined
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A

Square of a perfect cube is another perfect cube.
Let us take a number, n.
Its cube is n3. Square of this cube would be a perfect square given by (n3)2, which can also be written as (n2)3, a perfect cube. 


Question 7.


Square root of 1024 is 32.


  1.     True
  2.     False
  3.     9
  4.     Can't be determined
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A

By division method,
3  23¯¯¯¯¯¯10 ¯¯¯¯¯¯249 62   124   124   0
The square root of 1024 is 32.


Question 8.


A division is the inverse operation of a square.


  1.     True
  2.     False
  3.     9
  4.     Can't be determined
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:
B

The square root is the inverse operation of a square. 


A division is the inverse operation of multiplication, not of a square.


Question 9.


Which of the following are perfect squares?


  1.     156
  2.     176
  3.     196
  4.     256
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 196
:
C and D

The square root of a perfect square is a natural number.
196  =  14×14  =  14


256  =  16×16  =  16


Whereas 156 and 176 are not the perfect squares.
Hence, 196 and 256 are perfect squares as they are squares of 14 and 16 respectively.


Question 10.


There is/are ___ perfect square/squares between 50 and 70.


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 196
:

64 is the square of 8 which lies between 50 and 70. The squares of 7 and 9 are 49 and 81 respectively which lie outside this range. Therefore there is one perfect square between 50 and 70.
