Q.2 The following numbers are obviously not perfect squares. Give reason.
Solution:Â Trick: As we know that the square of numbers will end with the digits 0, 1, 4, 5, 6 or 9. Also, a perfect square will end with even number of zeroes.
(i) 1057
Unit’s place of 1057 is 7. Therefore, 1057 is not a perfect square.
(ii) 23453
Unit’s place of 23453 is 3. Therefore, 23453 is not a perfect square.

(v) 64000
64000 has three zeros at the end. Since, a perfect square cannot end with odd number of zeroes, 64000 is not a perfect square.
(vi) 89722
Unit’s place of 89722 is 2. Therefore, 89722 is not a perfect square.
(vii) 222000
222000 has three zeroes at the end. since, a perfect square cannot end with odd number of zeroes, 222000 is not a perfect square.
(viii) 505050
505050 has one (ie., odd number of) zero at the end. Since a perfect square cannot end with odd number of zeroes, 505050 is not a perfect square.

Q.3 The squares of which of the following would be odd numbers?
Solution:
We know that, odd numbers end with 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9. Unit’s place of square of a number will be the Unit’s place of square of unit’s digit of the number
(i) 431
Unit’s digit of square of 431 will be 1. Therefore, square of 431 would be an odd number
(ii) 2826
Unit’s digit of square of 2826 will be 6. Therefore, square of 2826 would not be an odd number
(iii) 7779
Unit’s digit of square of 7779 will be 1. Therefore, square of 7779 would be an odd number
(iv) 82004
Unit’s digit of square of 82004 will be 6. Therefore, square of 82004 would not be an odd number
Q.4Â Observe the following pattern and find the missing digits.
112=121
1012=10201
10012=1002001
1000012=1___2___1
100000012=1___2___1
Solution:
112=121
1012=10201
10012=1002001
1000012=10000200001
100000012=100000020000001
Q.5 Observe the following pattern and supply the missing numbers.
112=121
1012=10201
101012=102030201
10101012=_____
___2=10203040504030201
Solution:
112=121
1012=10201
101012=102030201
10101012=1020304030201
1010101012=10203040504030201
Q.6 Using the given pattern, find the missing numbers.
12 + 22 + 22 = 32
22 + 32 + 62 = 72
32 + 42 + 122 = 132
42 + 52 + _ 2 = 212
52 + _ 2 + 302 = 312
62 + 72 + _ 2 = __2
Solution:
To find pattern:
If we keenly observe the given pattern, third number is the product of first and second numbers whereas the fourth number is the successor of third number.
Therefore,
12 + 22 + 22 = 32
22 + 32 + 62 = 72
32 + 42 + 122 = 132
42 + 52 + 202 = 212
52 + 62 + 302 = 312
62 + 72 + 422 = 432
Q.7 Without adding, find the sum.
(i) 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9
(ii) 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + 11 + 13 + 15 + 17 + 19
(iii) 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + 11 + 13 + 15 + 17 + 19 + 21 + 23
Solution:
We know that, Sum of first n odd numbers is equal to square of n ie., n2
(i) 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9
Sum of first five odd natural numbers.
Therefore, 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 = 52 = 25
(ii) 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + 11 + 13 + 15 + 17 + 19
Sum of first ten odd natural numbers.
Therefore, 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9+ 11 + 13 + 15 + 17 + 19 = 102 = 100
(iii) 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + 11 + 13 + 15 + 17 + 19 + 21 + 23
Sum of first twelve odd natural numbers.
Therefore, 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + 11 + 13 + 15 +17 + 19 + 21 + 23 = 122 = 144
Q.8
(i) Express 49 as the sum of 7 odd numbers.
(ii) Express 121 as the sum of 11 odd numbers.
Solution:
We know that, Sum of first n odd numbers is equal to square of n ie., n2
(i) 49
49 = 72; Therefore, 49 is the sum of first 7 odd natural numbers.
49 = 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + 11 + 13
(ii) 121
121 = 112; Therefore, 121 is the sum of first 11 odd natural numbers.
121 = 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + 11 + 13 + 15 + 17 + 19 + 21
Q.9 How many numbers lie between squares of the following numbers?
(i) 12 and 13
(ii) 25 and 26
(iii) 99 and 100
Solution:
We know that, there will be 2n non perfect square numbers between the squares of the numbers n and (n + 1)
Therefore, between
(i) 122 and 132, there will be 2×12 = 24 numbers
(ii) 252 and 262, there will be 2×25 = 50 numbers
(iii) 992 and 1002, there will be 2×99 = 198 numbers
