(iii) 7928 ends with 8 at unit place. So it is not a perfect square number.

(iv) 222222 ends with 2 at unit place. So it is not a perfect square number.
(v) 64000 ends with 3 zeros. So it cannot a perfect square number.
(vi) 89722 ends with 2 at unit place. So it is not a perfect square number.
(vii) 22000 ends with 3 zeros. So it can not be a perfect square number.

(viii) 505050 ends with 1 zero. So it is not a perfect square number.

Ex 6.1 Class 8 Maths Question 3.

Ex 6.1 Class 8 Maths Question 4.
Observe the following pattern and find the missing digits.
11² = 121
101² = 10201
1001² = 1002001
100001² = 1…2…1
10000001² = ………
Solution:
According to the above pattern, we have
100001² = 10000200001
10000001² = 100000020000001

Ex 6.1 Class 8 Maths Question 5.
Observe the following pattern and supply the missing numbers.
11² = 121
101² = 10201
10101² = 102030201
1010101² = ……….
……….² = 10203040504030201
Solution:
According to the above pattern, we have
1010101² = 1020304030201
101010101² = 10203040504030201

Ex 6.1 Class 8 Maths Question 6.
Using the given pattern, find the missing numbers.
1² + 2² + 2² = 3²
2² + 3² + 6² = 7²
3² + 4² + 12² = 13²
4² + 5² + ….² = 21²
5² + ….² + 30² = 31²
6² + 7² + …..² = ……²
Solution:
According to the given pattern, we have
4² + 5² + 20² = 21²
5² + 6² + 30² = 31²
6² + 7² + 42² = 43²

Ex 6.1 Class 8 Maths Question 7.
Without adding, find the sum.
(i) 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9
(ii) 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + 11 + 13 + 15 + 17 + 19
(iii) 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + 11 + 13 + 15 + 17 + 19 + 21 + 23
Solution:
We know that the sum of n odd numbers = n²
(i) 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 = (5)² = 25 [∵ n = 5]
(ii) 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + 11 + 13 + 15 + 17 + 19 = (10)² = 100 [∵ n = 10]
(iii) 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + 11 + 13 + 15 + 17 + 19 + 21 + 23 = (12)² = 144 [∵ n = 12]

Ex 6.1 Class 8 Maths Question 8.
(i) Express 49 as the sum of 7 odd numbers.
(ii) Express 121 as the sum of 11 odd numbers.
Solution:
(i) 49 = 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + 11 + 13 (n = 7)
(ii) 121 = 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + 11 + 13 + 15 + 17 + 19 + 21 (n = 11)

Ex 6.1 Class 8 Maths Question 9.
How many numbers lie between squares of the following numbers?
(i) 12 and 13
(ii) 25 and 26
(iii) 99 and 100.
Solution:
(i) We know that numbers between n² and (n + 1)² = 2n
Numbers between 12² and 13² = (2n) = 2 × 12 = 24
(ii) Numbers between 25² and 26² = 2 × 25 = 50 (∵ n = 25)
(iii) Numbers between 99² and 100² = 2 × 99 = 198 (∵ n = 99)
