(iii) 7928

(iv) 222222

(v) 64000

(vi) 89722

(vii) 222000

(viii) 505050

Answer :
(i) Since, perfect square numbers contain their unit’s place digit 1, 4, 5, 6, 9 and even numbers of 0.

Therefore 1057 is not a perfect square because its unit’s place digit is 7.

(ii) Since, perfect square numbers contain their unit’s place digit 0, 1, 4, 5, 6, 9 and even number of 0. Therefore 23453 is not a perfect square because its unit’s place digit is 3.

(iii) Since, perfect square numbers contain their unit’s place digit 0, 1, 4, 5, 6, 9 and even number of 0. Therefore 7928 is not a perfect square because its unit’s place digit is 8.

(iv) Since, perfect square numbers contain their unit’s place digit 0, 1, 4, 5, 6, 9 and even number of 0. Therefore 222222 is not a perfect square because its unit’s place digit is 2.

(v) Since, perfect square numbers contain their unit’s place digit 0, 1, 4, 5, 6, 9 and even number of 0. Therefore 64000 is not a perfect square because its unit’s place digit is single 0.

(vi) Since, perfect square numbers contain their unit’s place digit 0, 1, 4, 5, 6, 9 and even number of 0. Therefore 89722 is not a perfect square because its unit’s place digit is 2.

(vii) Since, perfect square numbers contain their unit’s place digit 0, 1, 4, 5, 6, 9 and even number of 0. Therefore 222000 is not a perfect square because its unit’s place digit is triple 0.

(viii) Since, perfect square numbers contain their unit’s place digit 0, 1, 4, 5, 6, 9 and even number of 0. Therefore 505050 is not a perfect square because its unit’s place digit is 0.

(i) 431

(ii) 2826

(iii) 7779

(iv) 82004

Answer :
(i) 431 – Unit’s digit of given number is 1 and square of 1 is 1. Therefore, square of 431 would be an odd number.

(ii) 2826 – Unit’s digit of given number is 6 and square of 6 is 36. Therefore, square of 2826 would not be an odd number.

(iii) 7779 – Unit’s digit of given number is 9 and square of 9 is 81. Therefore, square of 7779 would be an odd number.

(iv) 82004 – Unit’s digit of given number is 4 and square of 4 is 16. Therefore, square of 82004 would not be an odd number.

Question:4. Observe the following pattern and find the missing digits:

11² = 121

101² = 10201

1001² = 1002001

10001² = 1…….2…….1

10000001² = 1……………………

Answer :
11² = 121

101² = 10201

1001² = 1002001

10001² = 10000200001

10000001² = 100000020000001

Question:5. Observe the following pattern and supply the missing numbers:

11² = 121

101² = 10201

10101² = 102030201

1010101² = ………………………

………..² = 10203040504030201

Answer :
11² = 121

101² = 10201

10101² = 102030201

1010101² = 1020304030201

101010101² = 10203040504030201

Question:6. Using the given pattern, find the missing numbers:

1² + 2² + 3² = 6²

2² + 3² + 6² = 6²

3² + 4² + 12² = 13²

4² + 5² + __² = 21²

5² + __² + 30² = 31²

6² + __² + __² = 43²

Answer :
1² + 2² + 3² = 6²

2² + 3² + 6² = 6²

3² + 4² + 12² = 13²

4² + 5² + 20² = 21²

5² + 6² + 30² = 31²

6² + 7² + 42² = 43²

Question:7. Without adding, find the sum:

(i) 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9

(ii) 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + 11 + 13 + 15 + 17 + 19

(iii) 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + 11 + 13 + 15 + 17 + 19 + 21 + 23

Answer :
(i) Here, there are five odd numbers. Therefore square of 5 is 25.

∴ 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 = 5² = 25

(ii) Here, there are ten odd numbers. Therefore square of 10 is 100.

∴ 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + 11 + 13 + 15 + 17 + 19 = 10² = 100

(iii) Here, there are twelve odd numbers. Therefore square of 12 is 144.

∴ 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + 11 + 13 + 15 + 17 + 19 + 21 + 23 = 12² = 144

Question:8. (i) Express 49 as the sum of 7 odd numbers.

(ii) Express 121 as the sum of 11 odd numbers.

Answer :
(i) 49 is the square of 7. Therefore it is the sum of 7 odd numbers.

49 = 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + 11 + 13

(ii) 121 is the square of 11. Therefore it is the sum of 11 odd numbers

121 = 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + 11 + 13 + 15 + 17 + 19 + 21

Question:9. How many numbers lie between squares of the following numbers:

(i) 12 and 13

(ii) 25 and 26

(iii) 99 and 100

Answer :
(i) Since, non-perfect square numbers between 𝓃² and (𝓃+1)² are Here, 𝓃 = 12

Therefore, non-perfect square numbers between 12 and 13 = 2𝓃 = 2 x 12 = 24

(ii) Since, non-perfect square numbers between 𝓃² and (𝓃+1)² are Here, 𝓃 = 25 Therefore, non-perfect square numbers between 25 and 26 = 2𝓃 = 2 x 25 = 50

(iii) Since, non-perfect square numbers between 𝓃² and (𝓃+1)² are Here, 𝓃 = 99 Therefore, non-perfect square numbers between 99 and 100 = 2𝓃 = 2 x 99 = 198
