1. Can we say whether the following numbers are perfect squares? How do we know?

(i) 1057 (ii) 23453 (iii) 7928

(iv) 222222 (v) 1069 (vi) 2061

Write five numbers which you can decide by looking at their one’s digit that they are not square numbers.


(i) 1057

∵ The ending digit is 7 (which is not one of 0, 1, 4, 5, 6 or 9)

∴ 1057 cannot be a square number.

(ii) 23453

∵ The ending digit is 3 (which is not one of 0, 1, 4, 5, 6 and 9)

∴ 23453 cannot be a square number.

(iii) 7928

∵ The ending digit is 8 (which is not one of 0, 1, 4, 5, 6 and 9)

∴ 7928 cannot be a square number.

(iv) 222222

∵ The ending digit is 2 (which is not one of 0, 1, 4, 5, 6 or 9)

∴ 222222 cannot be a square number,

(v) 1069

∵ The ending digit is 9.

∴ It may or may not be a sqaure number.

Also,   30 x 30 = 900
         31 x 31 = 691
         32 x 32 = 1024
         33 x 33 = 1089

i.e. No natural number between 1024 and 1089 is a square number.

∴ 1069 cannot be a square number.

(vi) 2061

∵ The ending digit is 1

∴ It may or may not be a square number.

∵ 45 × 45 = 2025

and 46 × 46 = 2116

i.e. No natural number between 2025 and 2116 is a square number.

∴ 2061 is not a square number.

We can write many numbers which do not end with 0, 1, 4, 5, 6 or 9. (i.e. which are not square number). Five such numbers can be:

1234, 4312, 5678, 87543, 1002007.

Write five numbers which you cannot decide just by looking at their unit’s digit (or one’s place) whether they are square numbers or not.


Which of 1232, 772 822, 1612, 1092 would end with digit 1?


Which of the following numbers would have digit 6 at unit place.

(i) 192 (ii) 242 (iii) 262

(iv) 362 (v) 342


Find the perfect square numbers between (i) 30 and 40 and (ii) 50 and 60.
