Question 12 Marks
There are $500$ children in a school. For a $P.T.$ drill they have to stands in such a manner that the number of rows is equal to number of columns. How many children would be left out in this arrangement.
Answer
Let the number of rows be $x$
Then the number of columns in $x$
So, the number of plants is $x$ $\times$ $x = x^2$
which is a perfect square.
Let us find out the square root of $500$ by division method.

We get the remainder $16$. It shows that $22^2$ is less than $500$ by $16$.
This means that $16$ children would be left out in this arrangement.

Question 22 Marks
A gardener has $1000$ plants. He wants to plant these in such a way that the number of rows and the number of columns remain same. Find the minimum number of plants he needs more for this.
Answer
Let the number of rows be $x$
Then the number of columns in $x$
So, the number of plants is $x$ $\times$ $x = x^2$
which is a perfect square.
Let us find out the square root of $1000$ by division method.

This shows that $31^2< 1000.$
Next perfect square number is $32^2= 1024.$
Hence, the minimum number of plants he needs more for this $= 1024 – 1000 = 24$.

Question 32 Marks
In a right triangle $ABC$, $\angle B = 90^{\circ}$. If $AC = 13\ cm, BC = 5\ cm$, find $AB$.
Answer

It is given that $\triangle \mathrm{ABC}$ is right-angled at $B$
Pythagoras Theorem: In a right angles triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of squares of the other two sides.
Therefore, by using Pythagoras theorem, we get:
$A C^{2}=A B^{2}+B C^{2}$
$13 ^{2}={AB}^{2}+5^{2}$
$\Rightarrow$$\mathrm{AB}^{2}=169 -25 $
$\mathrm{AB}^{2}=144 $
$\Rightarrow$$\mathrm{AB}=\sqrt{144} $
$AB = 12$
Therefore, $AB = 12\ cm$

Question 42 Marks
In a right triangle $ABC$, $\angle$$B = 90^\circ$. If $AB = 6\ cm, BC = 8\ cm$, find $AC$.
Answer
In the right triangle $ABC$,
$\because $ $\angle$$B = 90^\circ . . . .$ [given]
$\therefore$ By Pythagoras theorem
$AC^2= AB^2+ BC^2$
$\therefore$ $AC^2= 6^2+ 8^2$
$\therefore$ $AC^2= 36 + 64$
$\therefore$ $AC^2= 100$
$\therefore$ AC = $\sqrt {100} $

Therefore, $\sqrt {100} = 10$.
Hence, $AC$ is equal to $10\ cm$.

Question 62 Marks
Find the least number which must be added to $6412$ so as to get a perfect square. Also find the square root of the perfect square so obtained.
Answer


This shows that $80^2< 6412$
Next perfect square is $81^2= 6561$
Hence, the number to be added is $81^2– 6412 = 6561 – 6412 = 149$
Therefore, the perfect square so obtained is $6412 + 149 = 6561$
Hence, $\sqrt {6561} = 81$.

Question 72 Marks
Find the least number which must be added to $1825$ so as to get a perfect square. Also find the square root of the perfect square so obtained.
Answer


This shows that $42^2< 1825$
Next perfect square is $43^2= 1849$
Hence, the number to be added is $43^2– 1825 = 1849 – 1825 = 24$
Therefore, the perfect square so obtained is $1825 + 24 = 1849$
Hence, $\sqrt {1849}$ $= 43$.

Question 292 Marks
Find the smallest whole number with which $1620$ should be divided so as to get a perfect square. Also, find the square root of the square number so obtained.
Answer
The prime factorisation of $1620 is 1620 = 2 \times   2 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 5$
We see that prime factor $5$ has no pair. So, if we divide $1620$ by $5$, then we get

$1620 = 2$ $  \times  2   \times  3   \times  3   \times  3   \times  3$
Now each factor has a pair.
Therefore, $\frac{1620}{5}$ $= 324$ is a perfect square.

$324 = 2   \times 2 \times  3 \times 3  \times  3  \times 3$
$\sqrt{324}$ $= 18$

Question 302 Marks
Find the smallest whole number with which $2800$ should be divided so as to get a perfect square. Also find the square root of the square number so obtained.
Answer
The prime factorisation of $2800$ is $2800$ $= 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 5 \times 5 \times 7$
We see that prime factor $7$ has no pair.
So, if we divide $2800$ by $7$, then we get

$2800$ $\div$ $7 = 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 5 \times 5$
Now each factor has a pair. Therefore, $2800$ $\div$ $7 = 400$ is a perfect square. Thus, the required smallest number is $7$.
Hence, $\sqrt {400} $ =$ 2$ $\times$ $2$ $\times$ $5 = 20$.

Question 352 Marks
Find the smallest whole number with which $768$ should be multiplied so as to get perfect square number. Also find the square root of the square number so obtained.
Answer
The prime factorisation of $768$ is $768 = 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 3$
As the prime factor $3$ has no pair, $768$ is not a perfect square.
If $3$ gets a pair, then the number will be a perfect square.
So, we multiply $768$ by $3$ to get

$768 \times 3 = 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times3 \times 3$
Now each prime factor has a pair. Therefore, $768$ $\times$ $3 = 2304$ is a perfect square.

Question 362 Marks
Find the smallest whole number with which $1458$ should be multiplied so as to get perfect square number. Also find the square root of the square number so obtained.
Answer
The prime factorisation of $1458$ is $1458 = 2 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3$
As the prime factor $2$ has no pair, $1458$ is not a perfect square.
If $2$ gets a pair, then the number will be a perfect square.
So, we multiply $1458$ by $2$ to get

$1458 \times 2 = 2 \times 2 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3 \times 3$
Now each prime factor has a pair.
Therefore, $1458 \times 2 = 2916$ is a perfect square.
Thus the required smallest number is $2$.

As the prime factor $3$ has no pair, $2028$ is not a perfect square.
If $3$ gets a pair, then the number will be a perfect square. So, we multiply $2028$ by $3$ to get

$2028$ $\times$ $3 = 2 \times 2 \times 3 \times 3 \times 13 \times 13$
Now each prime factor has a pair.
Therefore, $2028$ $\times$ $3 = 6084$ is a perfect square.

Question 382 Marks
Find the smallest whole number with which $1008$ should be multiplied so as to get perfect square number. Also find the square root of the square number so obtained.
Answer
The prime factorisation of $1008$ is $1008 = 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 3 \times 3 \times 7$
As the prime factor$ 7$ has no pair, $1008$ is not a perfect square.
If 7 gets a pair, then the number will be a perfect square. So, we multiply $1008$ by $7$ to get

$1008 \times 7 = 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 3 \times 3 \times 7 \times 7$
Now each prime factor has a pair. Therefore, $1008 \times 7 = 7056$ is a perfect square. Thus the required smallest number is$ 7.$
Thus,$ \sqrt {7056} = 2 \times 2 \times 3 \times 7 = 87.$

Question 392 Marks
Find the smallest whole number with which $180$ should be multiplied so as to get perfect square number. Also find the square root of the square number so obtained.
Answer
The prime factorisation of $180$ is $180 = 2 \times 2 \times 3 \times 3 \times 5$
As the prime factor $5$ has no pair, $180$ is not a perfect square.
If $5$ gets a pair, then the number will be a perfect square. So, we multiply $180$ by $5$ to get

$180 \times 5 = 2 \times 2 \times 3 \times 3 \times 5 \times 5$
No each prime factor has a pair. Therefore, $180 \times 5 = 900$ is a perfect square.
Thus the required smallest number is $5$.
Thus, $\sqrt {900} = 2 \times 3 \times 5 = 30$.

$252 \times 7 = 2 \times 2 \times 3 \times 3 \times 7 \times 7$
Now each prime factor has a pair.
Therefore, $252 \times 7 = 1764$ is a perfect square.
