Section D
21 Read the text carefully and answer the questions: Once teacher in the class wrote 25
on the blackboard
She called Rita to subtract 1 from 25
1. 25 - 1 = 24
Then Ajay was called to subtract 3 from 24
2. 24 - 3 = 21
Neetu subtracted 5 from 21
3. 21 - 5 = 16
Ashok subtracted 7 from 16
4. 16 - 7 = 9
Finally Jiya subtracted 9 from 9
5. 9- 9=0
From 25 they had subtracted successive odd numbers starting from 1 and
obtained 0 at 5th step
Teacher told students to find square of 5 ,5 2 = 25
So as per definition 5 is square root of 25.
1. In how many steps the successive odd numbers are to be subtracted from 49 to get
0?
a) 9 b) 7 c) 5 d) 6
2. What is the square root of 64?
a) 7 b) 8 c) 9 d) 5
3. What is the square of 10?
a) 70 b) 90 c) 80 d) 100
4. Fill in the blanks:
9 - 1 = 8, 8 - 3 = 5, 5 - 5 = 0 tells that 3 is square root of ________.
5. State whether the given statement is True or False:
In 9 steps the successive odd numbers are to be subtracted from 80 to get 0.
22 By what number should 14700 be divided to get a perfect square?
Also find the square root of the perfect square obtained. (3 & 70)
23 Evaluate:
1. √484 + √81 (31)
2. √900 + √400 (50)
