3. A woman was born in the first half of the eighteenth century and was p years old in the year p2. In which year she was born?
a) 1716
b) 1736
c) 1722
d) 1708
View Answer
Explanation: Clearly 422 = 1764.
So, the woman is 42 years old in the year 1764.
Therefore, she was born in (1764-42) = 1722, which lies in the first half of eighteenth century.
4. Find the value of n if \(\sqrt{5^n}\)=625.
a) 7
b) 6
c) 3
d) 8
View Answer
Explanation: \(\sqrt{5^n}\)=625=54.
5n=58.
Hence, n = 8.
5. What percentage of numbers from 51 to 100 have squares that end in the digit 1?
a) 20%
b) 10%
c) 1%
d) 25%
View Answer
Explanation: The numbers from 51 to 100 which has 1 in the unit digit in its square are, 51, 59, 61, 69, ……, 91, 99. There are 10 numbers out of 50.
Therefore, required percentage = \(\frac{10}{50}\)*100=20%.
6. How many 3-digit numbers satisfy the condition that the last digit of the square of 3-digit number is 3?
a) 10
b) 0
c) 20
d) 9
View Answer
Explanation: Square numbers either end with 1, 4, 5, 6, 9 or 0. No square numbers end with 3.
Therefore, 3-digit numbers satisfy the condition that the last digit of the square of 3-digit number is 3 is zero.
7. If \(\sqrt{(a-3)(b+2)}\)=11, a and b being positive integers less than 20, find the value of a and b.
a) 13, 8
b) 15, 10
c) 14, 9
d) 7, 19
View Answer
Explanation: 11 is a prime number and its square 121 is divisible by 11 or 1.
Since, a and b being positive integers less than 20, (a-3)=11 🡪 a = 14 and (b+2)=11 🡪 b = 9.
8. Which one of the following numbers has rational square root?
a) 0.009
b) 0.016
c) 2.5
d) 0.04
View Answer
Explanation: \(\sqrt{0.009}\)=0.0948…,\(\sqrt{0.016}\)=0.1234…,\(\sqrt{2.5}\)=1.5811…and \(\sqrt{0.04}\)=0.2.
Therefore, 0.04 has rational square root.
9. If 23A4 is perfect square, then find the value of A.
a) 0
b) 2
c) 4
d) 6
View Answer
Explanation: 482 = 2304. Therefore, A = 0
10. Find the smallest perfect square that is divisible by 5!.
a) 1600
b) 3600
c) 900
d) 2500
View Answer
Explanation: 5! = 120 = 5*4*3*2*1 = 22*2*3*5. To make it a perfect square, it should be multiplied by 2*3*5 i.e., 30. Hence, the smallest perfect square that is divisible by 5! is 120*30 = 3600.
