The sum of successive odd numbers 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13 and 15 is
(a) 81 (b) 64 (c) 49 (d) 36
Solution:-
(b) 64
= 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + 11 + 13 + 15
= 64
The sum of first n odd natural numbers is
(a) 2n + 1 (b) n2 (c) n2 – 1 (d) n2 + 1
Solution:-
(b) n2
The sum of first n odd natural numbers is given by n2.
Which of the following numbers is a perfect cube?
(a) 243 (b) 216 (c) 392 (d) 8640
Solution:-
(b) 216
A perfect cube can always be expressed as the product of triplets of prime factors.
216 = 6 × 6 × 6 = 63
The hypotenuse of a right triangle with its legs of lengths 3x × 4x is
(a) 5x (b) 7x (c) 16x (d) 25x
Solution:-
We know that,
Pythagoras theorem = a = √(b2 + c2)
Where ‘a’ is hypotenuse and b and c are the other two legs of triangle.
Then,
a = √ ((3x)2 + (4x)2)
a = √(9x2 + 16x2)
a = √(9x2 + 16x2)
a = √(9x + 16x)
a = √25x
a = 5x
Hence the hypotenuse of the right triangle is 5x.
The next two numbers in the number pattern 1, 4, 9, 16, 25 … are
(a)35, 48 (b) 36, 49 (c) 36, 48 (d) 35,49
Solution:-
(b) 36, 49
The numbers given in the question are perfect square numbers.
12 = 1, 22 = 4, 32 = 9, 42 = 16, 52 = 25
So, 6 × 6 = 36 and 7 × 7 = 49
Which among 432, 672, 522, 592 would end with digit 1?
(a) 432 (b) 672 (c) 522 (d) 592
Solution:-
(d) 592
Because, the square of a number having 1 or 9 at the units place ends in1.
A perfect square can never have the following digit in its ones place.
(a) 1 (b) 8 (c) 0 (d) 6
Solution:-
(b) 8
Which of the following numbers is not a perfect cube?
(a) 216 (b) 567 (c) 125 (d) 343
Solution:-
(b) 567
Because, factors of 216 = 6 × 6 × 6
567 = 9 × 9 × 7
125 = 5 × 5 × 5
343 = 7 × 7 × 7
3√1000 is equal to
(a) 10 (b) 100 (c) 1 (d) none of these
Solution:-
(a) 10
= 3√1000
= 3√(10 × 10 × 10)
= 3√(103)
= 10
If m is the square of a natural number n, then n is
(a) the square of m
(b) greater than m
(c) equal to m
(d) √m
Solution:-
(d) √m
n2 = m
Then,
= n = √m
