Answer:

${7 \hspace{0.7cm}} | \overline{62} \hspace{0.5cm} \overline{03} \hspace{0.5cm} \overline{} \hspace{0.5cm} ( 78 \\ {\hspace{0.9cm}| } \underline{ 49 \hspace{2.0cm} } \\ 148 {\hspace{0.28cm}| } {\hspace{0.1cm} 13} \hspace{0.5cm} 03 \\ {\hspace{0.9cm}| } \underline{ {\hspace{0.1cm} 11} \hspace{0.5cm} 84 } \\ {\hspace{0.9cm}| } {\hspace{0.2cm} 1 } \hspace{0.4cm} 19 \hspace{0.5cm}$

Therefore $78^2 < 7203 < 79^2$

$79^2 = 6241$

Therefore add $(6241-6203) = 38$ to $6203$ to obtain a perfect square $(6241)$ .

Its square root would be $79$ .

$\\$

Question 17: Find the least number which must be added to 506900 to make it a perfect square. Find this perfect square and its square root.

Therefore $711^2 < 506900 < 712^2$

$712^2 = 506944$

Therefore add $44$ to $506900$ to make it a perfect square of $712$ .

$\\$

$\\$

Question 19: Find the least number of four digits which is a perfect square.

Answer:

${3 \hspace{0.7cm}} | \overline{10} \hspace{0.5cm} \overline{00} \hspace{0.5cm} \overline{} \hspace{0.5cm} ( 31 \\ {\hspace{0.9cm}| } \underline{ 9 \hspace{2.0cm} } \\ 61 {\hspace{0.48cm}| } {\hspace{0.1cm} 1} \hspace{0.5cm} 00 \\ {\hspace{0.9cm}| } \underline{ {\hspace{0.1cm} } \hspace{0.7cm} 61 } \\ {\hspace{0.9cm}| } {\hspace{0.2cm} } \hspace{0.5cm} 39 \hspace{0.5cm}$

Therefore $31^2 < 1000 < 32^2$

$32^2 = 1024$

Therefore add $24$ to $1000$ to get the least number of four digits which is a perfect square which is $1024$ .

$\\$

Question 20: Find the least number by which $69192$ must be (i) decreased (ii) increased (iii) multiplied (iv) divided to make it a perfect.

Answer:

${2 \hspace{0.7cm}} | \overline{6} \hspace{0.5cm} \overline{91} \hspace{0.5cm} \overline{92} \hspace{0.5cm} \overline{} \hspace{0.5cm} ( 263 \\ {\hspace{0.9cm}| } \underline{ 4 \hspace{3.0cm} } \\ 46 {\hspace{0.48cm}| } {\hspace{0.3cm} 2} \hspace{0.5cm} 91 \\ {\hspace{0.9cm}| } \underline{ {\hspace{0.3cm} 2} \hspace{0.5cm} 76 \hspace{1.5cm} } \\ 52 {\hspace{0.48cm}| } {\hspace{0.95cm} 15} \hspace{0.5cm} 92 \hspace{0.5cm} \\ {\hspace{0.9cm}| } \underline{ {\hspace{0.95cm} 15} \hspace{0.5cm} 69 \hspace{0.5cm} } \\ {\hspace{0.9cm}| } {\hspace{0.7cm} } \hspace{0.7cm} 23 \hspace{0.5cm}$

Subtract $23$ from $69192$ to make it a perfect square.

$263^2 < 69191 < 2642, 264^2 = 69696$ . Therefore add $504$ to $69192$ to make it a perfect square.

$69192 = 2 \times 2 \times 2 \times 3 \times 3 \times 31 \times 31$ . Therefore multiply by $2$ to make it a perfect square

Or divide it by $2$ to make it a perfect square.
