The students of class VIII of a school donated Rs. $2401$ for PM's National Relief Fund. Each student donated as many rupees as the number of students in the class. Find the number of students in the class.
AnswerLet $S$ be the number of students.
Let r be the amount in rupees donated by each student. The total donation can be expressed by, $S \times r = Rs. 2401$
Since the total amount in rupees is equal to the number of students, r is equal to $S.$
Substituting this in the first equation:
$S \times S = 2401$
$S^2= (7 \times 7) \times (7 \times 7)$
$S = 7 \times 7 = 49$
So, there are $49$ students in the class.

Show that the following numbers is a perfect square. Also, find the number whose square is the given number in case: $2025$
AnswerIn problem, factorise the number into its prime factors.
$2025 = 3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 5 \times 5$
Grouping the factors into pairs of equal factors, we obtain,
$2025 = (3 \times 3) \times (3 \times 3) \times (5 \times 5)$
No factors are left over. Hence, $2025$ is a perfect square. Moreover, by grouping $2025$ into equal factors:
$2025 = (3 \times 3 \times 5) \times (3 \times 3 \times 5)$
$2025 = (3 \times 3 \times 5)^2$
Hence, $2025$ is the square of $45$, which is equal to $3 \times 3 \times 5$

A welfare association collected Rs. $202500$ as donation from the residents. If each paid as many rupees as there were residents, find the number of residents.
AnswerLet R be the number of residents.
Let r be the money in rupees donated by each resident.
Total donation $= R \times r = 202500$
Since the money received as donation is the same as the number of residents:
$r = R$
Substituting this in the first equation, we get,
$R \times R = 202500$
$R^2= 202500$
$R^2= (2 \times 2) \times (5 \times 5) \times (5 \times 5) \times (3 \times 3)^2$
$R = 2 \times 5 \times 5 \times 3 \times 3 = 450$
So, the number of residents is $450$

Show that the following numbers is a perfect square. Also, find the number whose square is the given number in case:$4761$
AnswerIn problem, factorise the number into its prime factors.
$4761 = 3 \times 3 \times 23 \times 23$
Grouping the factors into pairs of equal factors, we obtain,

$13.21$
AnswerFrom the square root table, we have,
$\sqrt{13}=3.606$ and $\sqrt{14}=\sqrt{2}\times\sqrt{7}=3.742$

A $PT$ teacher wants to arrange maximum possible number of $6000$ students in a field such that the number of rows is equal to the number of columns. Find the number of rows if $71$ were left out after arrangement.
AnswerSince $71$ students were left out, there are only $5929 (6000 - 71)$ students remaining.
Hence, the number of rows or columns is simply the square root of $5929.$ Factorising $5929$ into its prime factors, $5929 = 7 \times 7 \times 11 \times 11$
Grouping them into pairs of equal factors, $5929 = (7 \times 7) \times (11 \times 11)$
The square root of $5929 =\sqrt{5929}=7\times11=77$
Hence, in the arrangement, there were $77$ rows of students.
