Square Root and Cube Root Problems Solutions for Competitive Exams

$$ Q.1. \ \sqrt { 110 {1\over4}} \ =?$$

(A)10.25               (B) 10.25               (C) 11.5                 (D) 19.5

Solution 

$$ \sqrt {110 {1\over4}}\ =\sqrt { {441\over4}}\ =\sqrt { {441\over \sqrt { 4} \  }}\ = {21\over2}=10.5  $$

$$ Q.2. \ \sqrt { {25\over81}-{1\over9}} \ =?$$

$$(A) \  {2\over3} \          (B)          \              {4\over9} \ (C)   \              {16\over81} \ (D)\            {25\over81} \ $$

Solution

$$ \sqrt { {25\over81}-{1\over9}}\ =\sqrt { {25-9\over81}}\ =\sqrt { {16\over 81  }}\ = {\sqrt { 16} \ \over \sqrt {81 } \ }={4\over9}  $$

Q.3. How many tow-digit numbers satisfy this property: The last digit (unit’s digit) of the square of the tow-digit number is 8 ?

(A) 1                       (B) 2                       (C) 3                       (D) None of these

Solution 

A number ending in 8 can never be a perfect square.

Q.4. What is the square root of 0.16?

(A) 0.004                              (B) 0.04                 (C) 0.4                   (D) 4

Solution

$$ \sqrt { 0.16}\   =\sqrt { {16\over 100 }}\ = {\sqrt { 16} \ \over \sqrt {100 } \ }={4\over10}=0.4  $$

$$Q.5. The \ value \ of \sqrt {0.000441 } \ is :$$

(A) 0.00021                          (B) 0.0021                            (C) 0.021                               (D) 0.21

Solution

$$ \sqrt { 0.000441}\   =\sqrt { {441\over 10^6 }}\ = {\sqrt { 441} \ \over \sqrt {10^6 } \ }={21\over10^3}={21\over1000}=.021.$$

Q.6. A group of students decided to collect as many paise from each member of the group as is the number of members. If the total collection amounts to Rs. 59.29, the number of members in the group is: 

(A) 57                    (B) 67                     (C) 77                     (D) 87

Solution

Money collected = (59.29×100) paise = 5929 paise. $$∴ Number \ of \ members = \sqrt {5929 } \ =77 $$

Q.7. The cube root of .000216 is :

(A) .6                     (B) .06                   (C) .006                (D) None of these

Solution

$$ (.000216)^{1/3}=\left({216\over 10^6} \right)=\left({6×6×6\over 10^2×10^2×10^2} \right)^{1/3}={6\over{10}^2}={6\over100}=.06$$

$$ Q.8. \ ^3 \sqrt { 4{12\over125}} \ =?$$

$$ (A)\ 1{2\over5} \ (B)\ 1{3\over5} \ (C)\ 1{4\over5} \ (D)\ 2{2\over5}    $$

Solution 

$$^3\sqrt {4{12\over125} } \   = \ ^3\sqrt {{512\over125} } \ =\left({8×8×8\over 5×5×5} \right)^{1/3}={8\over5}= 1{3\over5}$$

Q.9. The largest four-digit number which is perfect cube, is:

(A) 8000                (B) 9261                (C)9999                 (D) None of these

Solution

Clearly, 9261 is a perfect cube satisfying the given property.

Q.10. By what least number 675 be multiplied to obtain a number which is a perfect cube?

(A) 5                       (B) 6                       (C) 7                       (D) 8

Solution

675 = 5×5×3×3×3

To make it a a perfect cube, it must be multiplied by 5.

Q.11. What is the smallest number by which 3600 be divided to make it a perfect cube?

(A) 9                       (B) 50                     (C) 300                  (D) 450

Solution

3600 =2³×5²×3²×2.

To make it a perfect cube, it must be divided by 5²×3²×2 i.e, 450.
