This set of Class 8 Maths Chapter 6 Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on “Finding
Square Roots”.

1. Square root is _________ function of square.

a) converse
b) inverse
c) polynomial
d) linear
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: Square root is inverse function of square. The statement can be derived by having a
look on the graphs of both square and square root. The nature of graph of square is parabolic and
that of square root is rectangular hyperbola. The other method here can be by observing the power
which is 2 in case of square and [Math Processing Error] in case of square root.

2. If (±2)2=4 then, √4 = ________

a) -2
b) 2
c) 4
d) -4
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: Here the correct answer is 2 and the others are incorrect. The options other then 2
cannot be correct because √, this symbol is used to indicate that the square roots are positive.

3. Find square root of 169.

a) 13
b) 14
c) -14
d) 12
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Here we can simply find our answer by taking square root of the number [Math
Processing Error]=13. There can be some smart ways to find the answer without calculating the roots.
A square of number ending with 9 is a square of a number ending with 3. There is only one option
ending with 3. Therefore the correct answer is 13 and the others are incorrect.

4. What is the square roots of a three digit number ending with one?
a) 1
b) 11
c) 121
d) 9
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: If a three digit number which is ending with 1 the square root would be ending with 1 or
9. Here all the options either have 9 or 1 at the ending. The option which has 1 cannot be the answer
since the square wouldn’t be a three digit number. Similarly with the options 121 and 9 their square
won’t be three digit numbers either. So, the correct answer will be 11, the square of 11 is a three
digit number and ends with 1.

5. Square root of 25 is 4.
a) True
b) False
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: The given statement is mathematically wrong as square root of 25 is 5 and not 4. Hence
the correct option would be false. Here is the statement would be that Square root of 16 is 4 then
the statement would be true.

6. Square root of 16 is ________

a) -4
b) 4
c) 16
d) -16
View Answer

are left with two more options from which the 16 cannot be the answer as the square root of any
number cannot be that number itself . So the only answer left is 4. Hence 4 is the correct answer.

7. Find the square root of 961.

a) 31
b) 39
c) 29
d) 21
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Here the trick of checking the last digit of square and square roots fails because if any
square has 1 in one’s place the square root can have either 1 or 9 in its ones place. So here we
calculate the square root. After calculating we get the square root as 31.

d) (i)-(a); (ii)-(c); (iii)-(d); (iv)-(b)
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Here we need be careful while choosing the correct option as the options may look
similar but are not the same. We need to select squares from column A and their appropriate roots
in column B. Here the correct ordered sequence of answer is (i)-(c); (ii)-(a); (iii)-(d); (iv)-(b) and the
other options are incorrect.

10. Find the root of 12321.

a) 11
b) 111
c) 1111
d) 11111
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: This question is basically based on the pattern that is shown by the squares of numbers
containing 1 in all the digits. So the square root of the number 12321 would be 111 according to the
pattern. Therefore the option containing 111 and all the other options would be incorrect.
