4. Find the least number which must be subtracted from each of the following numbers so as to get a perfect square. Also, find the square root of the perfect square so obtained:

(i) 402    

(ii) 1989

(iii) 3250    

(iv) 825

(v) 4000

Ans. (i) 402

We know that, if we subtract the remainder from the number, we get a perfect square.

Here, we get remainder 2. Therefore 2 must be subtracted from 402 to get a perfect square.

 402 – 2 = 400

Hence, the square root of 400 is 20.

(ii) 1989

We know that, if we subtract the remainder from the number, we get a perfect square.

Here, we get remainder 53. Therefore 53must be subtracted from 1989 to get a perfect square.

 1989 – 53 = 1936

Hence, the square root of 1936 is 44.

(iii) 3250

We know that, if we subtract the remainder from the number, we get a perfect square.

Here, we get remainder 1. Therefore 1 must be subtracted from 3250 to get a perfect square.

 3250 – 1 = 3249

Hence, the square root of 3249 is 57.

(iv) 825

We know that, if we subtract the remainder from the number, we get a perfect square.

Here, we get remainder 41. Therefore 41 must be subtracted from 825 to get a perfect square.

 825 – 41 = 784

Hence, the square root of 784 is 28.

(v) 4000

We know that, if we subtract the remainder from the number, we get a perfect square.

Here, we get remainder 31. Therefore 31 must be subtracted from 4000 to get a perfect square.

 4000 – 31 = 3969

Hence, the square root of 3969 is 63.

5. Find the least number which must be added to each of the following numbers so as to get a perfect square. Also, find the square root of the perfect square so obtained:

(i) 525    

(ii) 1750

(iii) 252    

(iv) 1825

(v) 6412

Ans. (i) 525

Since remainder is 41.

Therefore

Next perfect square number  = 529

Hence, number to be added

= 529 – 525 = 4

 525 + 4 = 529

Hence, the square root of 529 is 23.

(ii) 1750

Since remainder is 69.

Therefore

Next perfect square number  = 1764

Hence, number to be added

= 1764 – 1750 = 14

 1750 + 14 = 1764

Hence, the square root of 1764 is 42.

(iii) 252

Since remainder is 27.

Therefore

Next perfect square number  = 256

Hence, number to be added

= 256 – 252 = 4

 252 + 4 = 256

Hence, the square root of 256 is 16.

(iv) 1825

Since remainder is 61.

Therefore

Next perfect square number  = 1849

Hence, number to be added = 1849 – 1825 = 24

 1825 + 24 = 1849

Hence, the square root of 1849 is 43.

(v) 6412

Since remainder is 12.

Therefore

Next perfect square number  = 6561

Hence, number to be added

= 6561 – 6412 = 149

 6412 + 149 = 6561

Hence, the square root of 6561 is 81.

7. In a right triangle ABC, B =

(i) If AB = 6 cm, BC = 8 cm, find AC.

(ii) If AC = 13 cm, BC = 5 cm, find AB.

Ans. (a) Using Pythagoras theorem,

= 36 + 84 = 100

AC = 10 cm

(b) Using Pythagoras theorem,

 

 

  = 169 – 25

  = 144

 AB= 12 cm

8. A gardener has 1000 plants. He wants to plant these in such a way that the number of rows and number of columns remain same. Find the minimum number of plants he needs more for this.

Ans. Here, plants = 1000

Since remainder is 39.

Therefore

Next perfect square number  = 1024

Hence, number to be added

= 1024 – 1000 = 24

 1000 + 24 = 1024

Hence, the gardener required 24 more plants.
