Question 513 Marks
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.
Answer
Let $S$ be the number of students.
Let $r$ be the amount in rupees donated by each student. The total donation can be expressed by, $S \times r=R s .2401$ Since the total amount in rupees is equal to the number of students, $r$ is equal to S .
Substituting this in the first equation:
$S \times S=2401$
$S^2=(7 \times 7) \times(7 \times 7)$
$S=7 \times 7=4 S$
So, there are 49 students in the class.

Question 523 Marks
Show that the following numbers is a perfect square. Also, find the number whose square is the given number in case:
$2025$
Answer
In 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 $3 \times 3 \times 5$

Question 573 Marks
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.
Answer
Let 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

Question 663 Marks
Show that the following numbers is a perfect square. Also, find the number whose square is the given number in case:4761
Answer
In 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,
$4761=(3 \times 3) \times(23 \times 23)$
No factors are left over. Hence, 4761 is a perfect square. The above expression is already grouped into equal factors,
$4761=(3 \times 23) \times(3 \times 23)$
$4761=(3 \times 23)^2$
Hence, 4761 is the square of 69 , which is equal to $3 \times 23$.

Question 773 Marks
Using square root table, find the square root:
21.97
Answer
We have to find $\sqrt{21.97}$
From the square root table, we have,
$\sqrt{21}=\sqrt{3}\times\sqrt{7}=4.583$ and $\sqrt{22}=\sqrt{2}\times\sqrt{11}=4.690$
Their difference is 0.107
Thus, for the difference of 1 (22 - 21), the difference in the values of the square roots is 0.107
For the difference of 0.97, the difference in the values of the values of their square roots is,
0.107 × 0.97 = 0.104

Question 843 Marks
Find the smallest number by which 3645 must be divided so that it becomes a perfect square. Also, find the square root of the resulting number.
Answer
The prime factorisation of 3645,
3645 = 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 5
Grouping the factors into pairs of equal factors, we get,
3645 = (3 × 3) × (3 × 3) × (3 × 3) × 5

Question 923 Marks
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.
Answer
Since 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 × 7 × 11 × 11
Grouping them into pairs of equal factors,
5929 = (7 × 7) × (11 × 11)
The square root of 5929
$=\sqrt{5929}=7\times11=77$
Hence, in the arrangement, there were 77 rows of students.
