NCERT Solutions for Class 8 Maths Squares and Square Roots

Class –VIII Mathematics (Ex. 6.3)

NCERT SOLUTION

1. What could be the possible ‘one’s’ digits of the square root of each of the following numbers:

(i) 9801

(ii) 99856

(iii) 998001

(iv) 657666025

Ans. Since, Unit’s digits of square of numbers are 0, 1, 4, 5, 6 and 9. Therefore, the possible unit’s digits of the given numbers are:

(i) 1 (ii) 6  (iii) 1  (iv) 5

---

2. Without doing any calculation, find the numbers which are surely not perfect squares:

(i) 153

(ii) 257

(iii) 408

(iv) 441

Ans. Since, all perfect square numbers contain their unit’s place digits 0, 1, 4, 5, 6 and 9.

(i) But given number 153 has its unit digit 3. So it is not a perfect square number.

(ii) Given number 257 has its unit digit 7. So it is not a perfect square number.

(iii) Given number 408 has its unit digit 8. So it is not a perfect square number.

(iv) Given number 441 has its unit digit 1. So it would be a perfect square number

3. Find the square roots of 100 and 169 by the method of repeated subtraction.

Ans. By successive subtracting odd natural numbers from 100,

100 – 1 = 99

99 – 3 = 96

96 – 5 = 91

91 – 7 = 84

84 – 9 = 75

75 – 11 = 64

64 – 13 = 51

51 – 15 = 36

36 – 17 = 19

19 – 19 = 0

This successive subtraction is completed in 10 steps.

Therefore

By successive subtracting odd natural numbers from 169,

169 – 1 = 168

168 – 3 = 165

165 – 5 = 160

160 – 7 = 153

153 – 9 = 144

144 – 11 = 133

133 – 13 = 120

120 – 15 = 105

105 – 17 = 88

88 – 19 = 69

69 – 21 = 48

48 – 23 = 25

25 – 25 = 0

This successive subtraction is completed in 13 steps.

Therefore

 = 6084

And  = = 78

(v) 1458 =

Here, prime factor 2 has no pair. Therefore 1458 must be multiplied by 2 to make it a perfect square.

 = 2916

And  = = 54

(vi) 768 =

Here, prime factor 3 has no pair. Therefore 768 must be multiplied by 3 to make it a perfect square.

 = 2304

And  = = 48
