29. Read the following, understand the mathematical idea expressed in it and answered the (1 x 6 = 6)
questions that follow:
1, 4, 9, 16, ...... are the squares of the counting number s. The remainders got by dividing on the
square numbers with natural numbers have a cyclic property. For example, the remainders on
dividing these numbers by 4 are tabulated here.

Number 1 4 9 16 25 ..... .... .....

Remainder 1 0 1 0 1 .... ..... .....

On dividing by 4 perfect squares leave only 0 and 1 as remainders. From this, we can conclude that an
arithmetic sequence whose terms leaves 2 on dividing by 4 do not have a perfect square.
a) Which are the possible remainders on dividing any number with 4 ?
b) Which are the remainders we would not get on dividing a perfect square by 4?
