SQUARES AND SQUARE ROOTS

Finding Square root

Above 100:
1052
Step 1. Add the number to the ones digit:

105 + 5 = 110

Step 2. Square the ones digit number (if the result is a single digit put a 0 in front of it):

52 = 25

Step 3. Place the result from Step 2 next to the result from Step 1: 11025

SQUARE AND SQUARE ROOT

EXAMPLE: Find the square root of 7056?

We pair the digits up starting from the right side. Since there is one extra left over after two
pairs are formed,we club it with the pair closest to it.
Unit digit will be 4 or 6
Since, 64<70<81, so the square root will definitely be 84 or 86.
Now consider 8 and 9 =>8*9=72>70
Since 70 is lesser the 72, ,we pick the lesser of the options i.e. 84
Answer: 84

Question: 05

Find the square root of 4489

A. 67
B. 63
C. 53
D. 57

Answer: A
Explanation:

We group the last pair of digits, and the rest of the digits together.
Now, since the unit digit of 4489 is 9. So we can say that unit digit of its square root will be
either 3 or 7.
Now consider first 2 digits i.e. 44. Since 44 comes in between the squares of 6 and 7 (i.e.
36<44<49),so we can say that the ten’s digit of the square root of 4489 will be 6. So far we
can say that the square root will be either 63 or 67.
Now we can fix the exact unit digit.
To find the exact unit digit, we consider the ten’s digit i.e. 6 and the next term i.e.7
Multiply these 2 terms 6*7=42, Since 44 is greater than 42. So square root of 4489 will be the
bigger of the two options i.e. 67
Question: 06

Find the square root of 16641?

A. 121
B. 129
C. 131
D. 139

Answer: B
Explanation:

We pair the digits up starting from the right side. Since there is one extra left over after two
pairs are formed,we club it with the pair closest to it.
Unit digit will be 1 or 9
Since, 144<166<169, so the square root will definitely be 121 or 129.
Now consider 12 and 13 =>12*13=156<166
Since 166 is greater the 156,we pick the larger of the options i.e. 129
Question: 07

Find the square root of 33489 ?

A. 173
B. 177
C. 183
D. 187

Answer: C
Explanation:

We pair the digits up starting from the right side. Since there is one extra left over after two
pairs are formed,we club it with the pair closest to it.
Unit digit will be 3 or 7
Since, 18^2<334<19^2, so the square root will definitely be 183 or 187.
Now consider 18 and 19 =>12*13=342<334
Since 334 is lesser than 342, we pick the lesser of two numbers i.e. 183

Question: 13

How many natural number lie between the square of the following numbers 12 and 13.
A. 24
B. 23
C. 25
D. 26

Answer: A
Explanation:

We know that between n^2 and (n+1)^2 there are 2n non-perfect square numbers. So,
between 12^2 and 13^2, there are 2(12) , that is 24 natural numbers.
Question: 14

Evaluate sqrt(0.0169* ?) = 1.3

A. 10
B. 100
C. 1000
D. None of these

Answer: B
Explanation:

Let sqrt(0.0169 * ?)= 1.3

Then, 0.0169 * ?=(1.3)^2 = 1.69
=>?=1.69/0.0169
?= 100
Question: 15

The least perfect square, which is divisible by each of 21, 36 and 66 is:
A. 213444
B. 214344
C. 214434
D. 231444

Answer: A
Explanation:

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

Now, 2772 = 2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 7 x 11

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

So, required number = 22 x 32 x 72 x 112 = 213444
