Question :2. State true or false:

(i) Cube of any odd number is even.

(ii) A perfect cube does not end with two zeroes.

(iii) If square of a number ends with 5, then its cube ends with 25.

(iv) There is no perfect cube which ends with 8.

(v) The cube of a two digit number may be a three digit number.

(vi) The cube of a two digit number may have seven or more digits.

(vii) The cube of a single digit number may be a single digit number.
Answer :
(i) False

Since, 1³ = 1, 3³ = 27, 5³ = 125 …………… are all odd.

(ii) True

Since, a perfect cube ends with three zeroes. e.g. so on

10³ = 1000, 20³ = 8000, 30³ = 27000……. So on.

(iii) False

Since, 5² = 25, 5³ = 125, 15²= 225, 15³ = 3375

(Did not end with 25)

(iv) False

Since 12³ = 1728

[Ends with 8]

And 22³ = 10648

[Ends with 8]

(v) False Since10³ = 1000

[Four digit number]

And 11³ = 1331

[Four digit number]

(vi) False Since 99³ = 970299

[Six digit number]

(vii) True

1³ = 1

[Single digit number]

2³= 8

[Single digit number]

Question :3. You are told that 1,331 is a perfect cube. Can you guess with factorization what is its cube root? Similarly guess the cube roots of 4913, 12167, 32768.
Answer :
We know that 10³

= 1000 and Possible cube of 11³= 1331

Since, cube of unit’s digit 1³ = 1

Therefore, cube root of 1331 is 11.

4913

We know that 7³ = 3437

Next number comes with 7 as unit place 17³= 4913

Hence, cube root of 4913 is 17.

12167

We know that 3³= 27

Here in cube, ones digit is 7

Now next number with 3 as ones digit

13³ = 2197

Andnext number with 3 as ones digit

23³ = 12167

Hence cube root of 12167 is 23.

32768

We know that 2³ = 8

Here in cube, ones digit is 8

Now next number with 2 as ones digit

12³= 1728

And next number with 2 as ones digit

22³= 10648

And next number with 2 as ones digit

32³ = 32768

Hence cube root of 32768 is 32.
