Question 8.

A man, after a tour, finds that he had spent every day as many rupees as the number of days he had been on tour. How long did his tour last, if he had spent in all ₹ 1,296

Solution:

Let the number of days he had spent = x
Number of rupees spent in each day = x
Total money spent = x x x = x2 = 1,296 (given)

Question 9.

Out of 745 students, maximum are to be arranged in the school field for a P.T. display, such that the number of rows is equal to the number of columns. Find the number of rows if 16 students were left out after the arrangement.

Solution:

Total number of students = 745
Students left after standing in arrangement = 16
No. of students who were to be arranged = 745 – 16 = 729
The number of rows = no. of students in each row
No. of rows = √729

(i) 511

(ii) 7172
(iii) 55078
Solution:
(i) 511

Taking square root of 511, we find that 27 has been left We see that 511 is greater than (22)2

On adding the required number to 511, we get (23)2 i.e., 529

So, the required number = 529 – 511 = 18
(ii) 7172
Taking square root of 7172, we find that 116 has been left
We see that 7172 is greater than (84)2

Taking square root of 55078, we find that 322 has been left
We see that 55078 is greater than (234)2
On adding the required number to 55078, we get (235)2 i.e., 55225
Required number = 55225 – 55078 = 147

Question 6.

If a number ends with 3 zeroes, how many zeroes will its square have ?
Solution:

We know that if a number ends with n zeros, then its square will have 2n zeroes at their ends

A number ends with 3 zeroes, then its square will have 3 x 2 = 6 zeroes

Question 7.

If the square of a number ends with 10 zeroes, how many zeroes will the number have ?
Solution:

We know that if a number ends with n zeros Then its square will have 2n zeroes Conversely, if square of a number have 2n zeros at their ends then the number will have n zeroes

The square of a number ends 10 zeroes, then the number will have  = 5 zeroes

Question 8.

Is it possible for the square of a number to end with 5 zeroes ? Give reason.

Solution:

No, it is not possible for the square of a number, to have 5 zeroes which is odd because the number of zeros of the square must be 2n zeroes i.e., even number of zeroes.
