#### Question 8 :-

A man, after a tour, finds that he had spent every day as many rupees as the number of days he had been on tour. How long did his tour last, if he had spent in all ₹ 1,296

Let the number of days he had spent = x
Number of rupees spent in each day = x
Total money spent = x x x = x2 = 1,296 (given)

x= √1296

 4 1296 4 324 9 81 9

⇒ x = √4×4×9×9

x = 4 × 9

⇒ x = 36

Hence required number of days = 36

#### Question 9 :-

Out of 745 students, maximum are to be arranged in the school field for a P.T. display, such that the number of rows is equal to the number of columns. Find the number of rows if 16 students were left out after the arrangement.

Total number of students = 745
Students left after standing in arrangement = 16
No. of students who were to be arranged = 745 – 16 = 729
The number of rows = no. of students in each row
No. of rows = √729

 3 729 3 243 3 81 3 27 3 9 3 3 1

= 3 x 3 x 3 = 27

#### Question 10 :-

13 and 31 is a strange pair of numbers such that their squares 169 and 961 are also mirror images of each other. Find two more such pairs.

(13)2 = 169 and (31)2 = 961
Similarly, two such number can be 12 and 21
∴ (12)2 = 144 and (21)2 =441
and 102, 201
(102)2 = 102 x 102 =  10404
and (201)= 201 x 201 = 40401

#### Question 11 :-

Find the smallest perfect square divisible by 3, 4, 5 and 6.

L.C.M. of 3, 4, 5, 6 = 2 x 2 x 3 x 5 = 60

 2 3, 4, 5, 6 3 3, 2, 5, 3 1, 2, 5, 1

in which 3 and 5 are not in pairs L.C.M. = 2 x 3 x 2 x 5 = 60

We should multiple it by 3 x 5 i.e. by 15

Required perfect square = 60 x 15 = 900

#### Question 12 :-

#### Question 11 :-

Find the least number which must be subtracted from 1205 so that the resulting number is a perfect square.

Clearly, if 49 is subtracted from 1205, the number will be a perfect square.

 34 3 1205 9 64 305 256 49

∴ 1205 – 49 = 1156 and √1156 = 34

#### Question 12 :-

Clearly, 1205 is greater than 342

 34 3 1205 9 64 305 256 49

∴ On adding the required number to 1205, we shall be getting 352 i.e., 1225
∴ The required number = 1225 – 1225 = 20

#### Question 13 :-

Find the least number which must be subtracted from 2037 so that the resulting number is a perfect square.

Clearly; if 12 is subtracted from 2037, the remainder will be a perfect square.

∴ 2037 – 12 = 2025 and √2025 = 45

 45 4 2037 49 85 437 425 12

Find the least number which must be added to 5483 so that the resulting number is a perfect square.

Clearly, 5483 is greater than 742

 74 9 5483 49 144 583 576 7

∴ On adding the required number to 5483, we shall be getting 752 i.e. 5625.
Hence, the required number = 5625 – 5483
= 142

### Exercise – 3 C Concise Selina solutions of Squares and Square Roots for ICSE Class-8th

(i) 3051
(ii) 2332
(iii) 5684
(iv) 6908
(v) 50699

We know that the ending digit (the digit at units place) of the square of a number is 0, 1, 4, 5, 6, or 9
So, the following numbers can be squares: 3051, 5684, and 50699 i.e., (i), (iii), and (v)

#### Question 2 :-

Squares of which of the following numbers will have 1 (one) at their unit’s place :
(i) 57
(ii) 81
(iii) 139
(iv) 73
(v) 64

The square of the following numbers will have 1 at their units place as (1)2 = 1, (9)2 = 81
81 and 139 i.e., (i) and (iii)

#### Question 3 :-

Which of the following numbers will not have 1 (one) at their unit’s place :
(i) 322
(ii) 572
(iii) 692
(iv) 3212
(v) 2652

The square of the following numbers will not have 1 at their units place: as only (1)2 = 1, (9)2 = 81 have 1 at then units place
322, 572, 2652 i.e., (i), (ii) and (v)

#### Question 4 :-

Square of which of the following numbers will not have 6 at their unit’s place :
(i) 35
(ii) 23
(iii) 64
(iv) 76
(v) 98

The squares of the following numbers, Will not have 6 at their units place as only (4)2 = 16, (6)2 = 36 has but its units place 35, 23 and 98 i.e., (i), (ii), and (v)

#### Question 5 :-

Which of the following numbers will have 6 at their unit’s place :

#### Question 6 :-

If a number ends with 3 zeroes, how many zeroes will its square have?

We know that if a number ends with n zeros, then its square will have 2n zeroes at their ends
A number ends with 3 zeroes, then its square will have 3 x 2 = 6 zeroes

#### Question 7 :-

If the square of a number ends with 10 zeroes, how many zeroes will the number have?

We know that if a number ends with n zeros Then its square will have 2n zeroes Conversely, if square of a number have 2n zeros at their ends then the number will have n zeroes
The square of a number ends 10 zeroes, then the number will have 10/2 = 5 zeroes

#### Question 8 :-

Is it possible for the square of a number to end with 5 zeroes ? Give reason.

No, it is not possible for the square of a number, to have 5 zeroes which is odd because the number of zeros of the square must be 2n zeroes i.e., even number of zeroes

#### Question 9 :-

Give reason to show that none of the numbers, given below, is a perfect square.
(i) 2162
(ii) 6843
(iii) 9637

(i) 372 – 362
(ii) 852 – 842
(iii) 1012 – 1002

(i) 372 – 362
Using property, for any natural number n,
(n + 1)2 – n2 = (n + 1) + n
⇒ (36 + 1)2 –  362 = (36 + 1) + 36
⇒ 372 –  36= 37 + 36
⇒ 37–  362 = 73

#### Question 13 :-

Without doing the actual addition, find the sum of:
(i) 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + 11 + 13 + 15 + 17 + 19 + 21 + 23
(ii) 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + ……………… + 39 + 41
(iii) 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + ………………… + 51 + 53

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

= Sum of first 12 odd natural numbers = 122 = 144

(ii) 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + ……………… + 39 + 41

= Sum of first 21 odd natural numbers = 212 = 441

#### Question 14 :-

Write three sets of Pythagorean triplets such that each set has numbers less than 30.

The three sets of Pythagorean triplets such that each set has numbers less than 30 are 3, 4 and 5; 6, 8 and 10; 5, 12 and 13
Proof:
In 3, 4 and 5
32 + 42 = 52
⇒ 9 + 16 = 25
⇒ 25 = 25
In 6, 8 and 10
62 + 82 = 102
⇒ 36 + 64 = 100
⇒ 100 = 100
In 5, 12, and 13
5+ 122 = 132
⇒ 25 + 144 = 169
⇒ 169 = 169
