Question 511 Mark

What will be the units digit of the squares of the following numbers?
12796

Answer

The units digit is affected only by the last digit of the number. Hence, for each question, we only need to examine the square of its last digit. Its last digit is 6. Hence, the units digit is the last digit of 36 (36 = 6²), which is 6.

Question 651 Mark

The following numbers are not perfect squares. Give reason.
i. 1547
ii. 45743
iii. 8948
iv. 333333

Answer

A number ending with 2, 3, 7 or 8 cannot be a perfect square.
i. Its last digit is 7. Hence, 1547 cannot be a perfect square.
ii. Its last digit is 3. Hence, 45743 cannot be a perfect square.
iii. Its last digit is 8. Hence, 8948 cannot be a perfect square.
iv. Its last digit is 3. Hence, 333333 cannot be a perfect square.

Question 761 Mark

By just examining the units digits, can you tell which of the following cannot be whole squares?
i. 1026
ii. 1028
iii. 1024
iv. 1022
v. 1023
vi. 1027

Answer

If the units digit of a number is 2, 3, 7 or 8, the number cannot be a whole square.
i. 1026 has 6 as the units digit, so it is possibly a perfect square.
ii. 1028 has 8 as the units digit, so it cannot be a perfect square.
iii. 1024 has 4 as the units digit, so it is possibly a perfect square.
iv. 1022 has 2 as the units digit, so it cannot be a perfect square.
v. 1023 has 3 as the units digit, so it cannot be a perfect square.
vi. 1027 has 7 as the unit digit, so it cannot be a perfect square.
Hence, by examining the units digits, we can be certain that 1028, 1022, 1023 and 1027 cannot be whole squares.
