1. Which of the following numbers are perfect squares?

(i) 484
(ii) 625
(iii) 576
(iv) 941
(v) 961
(vi) 2500
Solution:
(i) 484
First find the prime factors for 484
484 = 2×2×11×11
By grouping the prime factors in equal pairs we get,
= (2×2) × (11×11)
By observation, none of the prime factors are left out.
∴ 484 is a perfect square.
(ii) 625
625 = 5×5×5×5
= (5×5) × (5×5)
(iii) 576
576 = 2×2×2×2×2×2×3×3
= (2×2) × (2×2) × (2×2) × (3×3)
(iv) 941
941 = 941 × 1
We know that 941 itself is a prime factor.
∴ 941 is not a perfect square.
(v) 961
961 = 31×31
= (31×31)
(vi) 2500
2500 = 2×2×5×5×5×5
= (2×2) × (5×5) × (5×5)
2. Show that each of the following numbers is a perfect square. Also find the
number whose square is the given number in each case:
(i) 1156
(ii) 2025
(iii) 14641
(iv) 4761
Solution:
(i) 1156
1156 = 2×2×17×17
= (2×2) × (17×17)
To find the square of the given number
1156 = (2×17) × (2×17)
= 34 × 34
= (34)2
∴ 1156 is a square of 34.
(ii) 2025
2025 = 3×3×3×3×5×5
= (3×3) × (3×3) × (5×5)
2025 = (3×3×5) × (3×3×5)
= 45 × 45
= (45)2
(iii) 14641
14641 = 11×11×11×11
= (11×11) × (11×11)
14641 = (11×11) × (11×11)
= 121 × 121
= (121)2
(iv) 4761
4761 = 3×3×23×23
= (3×3) × (23×23)
4761 = (3×23) × (3×23)
= 69 × 69
= (69)2
3. Find the smallest number by which the given number must be multiplied so that
the product is a perfect square:
(i) 23805
(ii) 12150
(iii) 7688
Solution:
(i) 23805
23805 = 3×3×23×23×5
= (3×3) × (23×23) × 5
By observation, prime factor 5 is left out.
So, multiply by 5 we get,
23805 × 5 = (3×3) × (23×23) × (5×5)
= (3×5×23) × (3×5×23)
= 345 × 345
= (345)2
∴ Product is the square of 345.
(ii) 12150
12150 = 2×2×2×2×3×3×5×5×2
= (2×2) × (2×2) × (3×3) × (5×5) × 2
12150 × 2 = (2×2) × (2×2) × (3×3) × (5×5) × (2×2)
= (2×2×3×5×2) × (2×2×3×5×2)
= 120 × 120
= (120)2
(iii) 7688
7688 = 2×2×31×31×2
= (2×2) × (31×31) × 2
7688 × 2 = (2×2) × (31×31)× (2×2)

= (2×31×2) × (2×31×2)
= 124 × 124
= (124)2
4. Find the smallest number by which the given number must be divided so that the
resulting number is a perfect square:
(i) 12283
(ii) 1800
(iii) 2904
Solution:
(i) 12283
12283 = 3×3×3×23×23
= (3×3) × (23×23) × 3
So, divide by 3 to eliminate 3 we get,
12283/3 = (3×3) × (23×23)
= (3×23) × (3×23)
= 69 × 69
= (69)2
∴ Resultant is the square of 69.
(ii) 1800
1800 = 2×2×5×5×3×3×2
= (2×2) × (5×5) × (3×3) × 2
1800/2 = (2×2) × (5×5) × (3×3)
= (2×5×3) × (2×5×3)
= 30 × 30
= (30)2
(iii) 2904
2904 = 2×2×11×11×2×3
= (2×2) × (11×11) × 2 × 3
By observation, prime factor 2 and 3 are left out.
So, divide by 6 to eliminate 2 and 3 we get,
2904/6 = (2×2) × (11×11)
= (2×11) × (2×11)
= 22 × 22
= (22)2

Solution:
189 prime factors are
189 = 32×3×7
Since it does not have equal pair of factors 189 is not a perfect square.

225 = (5×5) × (3×3)
Since 225 has equal pair of factors. ∴ It is a perfect square.

2048 = (2×2) × (2×2) × (2×2) × (2×2) × (2×2) × 2

343 = (7×7) × 7

441 = (7×7) × (3×3)

a × b = 1296
16b × b = 1296
16b2 = 1296
b2 = 1296/16 = 81
b=9
a = 16b
= 16(9)

a = √5184m
a = 2 × 2 ×2 × 9
= 72 m
Perimeter of square = 4a
= 4(72)
= 288 m
Perimeter of rectangle = 2 (l + b) = perimeter of the square field
= 288 m
2 (2b + b) = 288
b = 48 and l = 96
Area of rectangle = 96 × 48 m2

Firstly take L.C.M for 6, 9, 15, 20 which is 180
So the prime factors of 180 = 22 × 32 × 5
To make it a perfect square, we have to multiply the number with 5
180 × 5 = 22 × 32 × 52
∴ 900 is the least square number divisible by 6, 9, 15 and 20
(ii) 8, 2, 15 and 20
Firstly take L.C.M for 8, 2, 15, 20 which is 360
So the prime factors of 360 = 22 × 32 ×2 × 5
To make it a perfect square, we have to multiply the number with 2 × 5 = 10
360 × 10 = 22 × 32 × 52 × 22
∴ 3600 is the least square number divisible by 8, 12, 15 and 20

The remainder is 131

Since, (74)2 < 5607
We take, the next perfect square number i.e., (75)2
(75)2 = 5625 > 5607
So, the number to be added = 5625 – 5607 = 18
(ii) 4931
The remainder is 31
Since, (70)2 < 4931
(71)2 = 5041 > 4931
(iii) 4515600

Since, (2124)2 < 4515600
(2125)2 = 4515625 > 4515600

8. A General arranges his soldiers in rows to form a perfect square. He finds that in
doing so, 60 soldiers are left out. If the total number of soldiers be 8160, find the
number of soldiers in each row
Solution:
We know that the total number of soldiers = 8160
Number of soldiers left out = 60
Number of soldiers arranged in rows to form a perfect square = 8160 – 60 = 8100
∴ number of soldiers in each row = √8100

= √ (9×9×10×10)
= 9×10
= 90
9. The area of a square field is 60025m2. A man cycles along its boundary at 18
Km/hr. In how much time will he return at the starting point?
Solution:
We know that the area of square field = 60025 m2
Speed of cyclist = 18 km/h
= 18 × (1000/60×60)
= 5 m/s2
Area = 60025 m2
Side2 = 60025
Side = √60025
= 245
We know, Total length of boundary = 4 × Side
= 4 × 245
= 980 m
∴ Time taken to return to the starting point = 980/5
= 196 seconds
= 3 minutes 16 seconds
10. The cost of levelling and turning a square lawn at Rs 2.50 per m2 is Rs13322.50
Find the cost of fencing it at Rs 5 per metre.
Solution:
We know that the cost of levelling and turning a square lawn = 2.50 per m2
Total cost of levelling and turning = Rs. 13322.50
Total area of square lawn = 13322.50/2.50
= 5329 m2
Side2 = 5329
Side of square lawn = √5329
= 73 m
So, total length of lawn = 4 × 73
= 292 m
∴ Cost of fencing the lawn at Rs 5 per metre = 292 × 5
= Rs. 1460
11. Find the greatest number of three digits which is a perfect square.

(48)2 = 2304 > 2300
∴ The smallest number required to be added to 2300 to get a perfect square is
2304 – 2300 = 4

side of the field.
Solution:
We know that the given area = 80 244/729 m2
= 58564/729 m2
If L is length of each side
L2 = 58564/729
L = √ (58564/729) = √58564/√729

Solution:
(i) (√59.29 - √5.29)/ (√59.29 + √5.29)
Firstly let us find the square root √59.29 and √5.29
√59.29 = √5929/ √100

= 77/10
= 7.7
√5.29 = √5.29/ √100
= 23/10
= 2.3
So, (7.7 – 2.3)/ (7.7 + 2.3)
= 54/10
= 0.54
(ii) (√0.2304 + √0.1764)/ (√0.2304 - √0.1764)

Firstly let us find the square root √0.2304 and √0.1764
√0.2304 = √2304/ √10000
= 48/100
= 0.48
√0.1764 = √1764/ √10000
= 42/100
= 0.42
So, (0.48 + 0.42)/ (0.48 – 0.42)
= 0.9/0.06
= 15

= 225/10
= 22.5
√5.0625 = √50625/ √10000
= 225/100
= 2.25
So equating in the above equation we get,

√506.25 + √5.0625 = 22.5 + 2.25
= 24.75

So now, (i)√10302.25 = √(10302.25× 100)

= 10 × 10.15
= 101.5
(ii)√1.030225 = √1.030225/ √1000
= 10.15/10
= 1.015

√ (144/7) = √ (12×12)/ √7
= 12/ 2.646
= 4.535
(ii) √ (2500/3)
Now let us simplify the given equation
√ (2500/3) = √ (5×5×10×10) /√3
= 5×10/ 1.732
= 50/1.732
= 28.867

Let us find the square root for 196/75
√(196/75) = √(196)/ √ (75)
= √(14×14)/ √ (5×5×3)
= 14/ (5√3)
= 14/ (5×1.732)
= 14/8.66
= 1.617

= 20/ (3×2.646)
= 20/7.938
= 2.520
(iii) 150/7
√(150/7) = √(150)/ √ (7)

= √(3×5×5×2)/ √ (7)
= (5√3×√2)/ (√7)
= 5×1.732×1.414/ (2.646)
= 12.245/2.646
= 4.628
(iv) 256/5
√(256/5) = √(256)/ √ (5)
= √(16×16)/ √ (5)
= 16/ (√5)
= 16/2.236
= 7.155
(v) 27/50
√(27/50) = √(27)/ √ (50)
= √(3×3×3)/ √ (5×5×2)
= (3√3)/ (5√2)
= (3×1.732)/ (5×1.414)
= 5.196/7.07
= 0.735
