SQUARES AND SQUARE ROOTS MCQs
:
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).
:
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.
:
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.
:
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.
:
B
√√81
=√(√9×9) [∵9×9=92=81]
=√(9) [∵√92=9]=√(3×3) [∵3×3=32=9]=3
:
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.
:
A
By division method,
3 23¯¯¯¯¯¯10 ¯¯¯¯¯¯249 ↓62 124 124 0
∴ The square root of 1024 is 32.
:
B
The square root is the inverse operation of a square.
A division is the inverse operation of multiplication, not of a square.
:
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.
:
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.
