Question: 1

While solving a mathematical problem, Samidha squared a number and then subtracted 25 from it rather than the required i.e, first subtracting 25 from the number and then squaring it. But she got the right answer. What was the given number?

(A) 10

(B) 13

(C) 18

(D) 48

Ans: B

Let the given number be x.

Then, x2 - 25 = (x – 25)2 ⇔ x2 - 25 = x2 + 625 – 50x

⇔ 50x = 650 ⇔ x = 13.

Question: 2

The least perfect square, which is divisible by each of 21, 36 and 66 is

(A) 213444

(B) 214333

(C) 214434

(D) 231444

Ans: A

L.C.M. of 21, 36, 66 = 2772.

Now, 2772 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 7 × 11.

To make it a perfect square, it must be multiplied by 7 × 11.

So, required number = 22 × 32 × 72 × 112 = 213444.

Question: 3

$$√11881$$ × $$√?$$ = 10137

(A) 8281

(B) 8649

(C) 9216

(D) 9409

Ans: B

Let $$√11881$$ × $$√x$$ = 10137.

Then, 109 × $$√x$$ = 10137.

⇔ $$√x$$ = $${10137}/{109}$$ = 93.

⇔ x = (93)2 = 8649.

Question: 4

The number of perfect square numbers between 50 and 1000 is

(A) 21

(B) 22

(C) 23

(D) 24

Ans: D

The first perfect square number after 50 is 64 (= 82) and the last perfect square number before 1000 is 961 [= (31)2].

So, the perfect squares between 50 and 1000 are the squares of numbers from 8 to 31. Clearly, these are 24 in number.

Question: 5

The least number by which 1470 must be divided to get a number which is a perfect square is

(A) 5

(B) 6

(C) 15

(D) 30

Ans: D

1470 = 7 × 7 × 5 × 6.

To make it a perfect square, it must be divided by 5 × 6, i.e., 30.
