Q13Written answer

Which of the following numbers is a perfect cube?

(a) 243 (b) 216 (c) 392 (d) 8640

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution:-

(b) 216

A perfect cube can always be expressed as the product of triplets of prime factors.

216 = 6 × 6 × 6 = 63

Q14Written answer

The hypotenuse of a right triangle with its legs of lengths 3x × 4x is

(a) 5x (b) 7x (c) 16x (d) 25x

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

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.

Q15Written answer

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

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

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

Q16Written answer

Which among 432, 672, 522, 592 would end with digit 1?

(a) 432 (b) 672 (c) 522 (d) 592

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution:-

(d) 592

Because, the square of a number having 1 or 9 at the units place ends in1.

Q17Written answer

A perfect square can never have the following digit in its ones place.

(a) 1 (b) 8 (c) 0 (d) 6

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution:-

(b) 8

Q18Written answer

Which of the following numbers is not a perfect cube?

(a) 216 (b) 567 (c) 125 (d) 343

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution:-

(b) 567

Because, factors of 216 = 6 × 6 × 6

567 = 9 × 9 × 7

125 = 5 × 5 × 5

343 = 7 × 7 × 7

Q19Written answer

3√1000 is equal to

(a) 10 (b) 100 (c) 1 (d) none of these

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution:-

(a) 10

= 3√1000

= 3√(10 × 10 × 10)

= 3√(103)

= 10

(a) the square of m

(b) greater than m

(c) equal to m

(d) √m

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Solution:-

(d) √m

n2 = m

Then,
