(ii) The square of2826 is an even number.
(iii) The square of 7779 is an odd number.
(iv) The square of82004 is an even number.

Question 4.
Observe the following pattern and find the missing digits.
11² = 121
101² = 10201
1001² = 1002001
100001² = 1………2……..1
10000001² = …………….
Solution:
By observing the above pattern, we get
(i) 100001² = 10000200001
(ii) 10000001² = 100000020000001

Question 5.
Observe the following pattern and supply the missing number.
(a) 11² = 121
101² = 10201
10101² = 102030201
1010101² = …………….
………..² = 1020304030201
Solution:
By observing the above pattern, we get
(I) (1010101)² = 1020304030201
(ii) 10203040504030201 = (101010101)²

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:
4² + 5² + 20² = 21²
5² + 6² + 30² = 31²
6² + 7² + 42² = 43²
Note: To find pattern
The third number is related to the first and second numbers. How?
The fourth number is related to the third number. How?

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:
(i) Sum of the first 5 odd numbers = 5² = 25
(ii) Sum of the first 10 odd numbers = 10² = 100
(iii) Sum of the first 12 odd numbers = 12² = 144

Question 8.
(i) Express 49 as the sum of 7 odd numbers.
(ii) Express 121 as to the sum of 11 odd numbers.
Solution:
(i) 7² = 49
1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + 11 + 13 (First 7 odd numbers)
(ii) 11² = 121
1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + 11 + 13 + 15 + 17 + 19 + 21 (First 11 odd numbers)

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:
Note: Since between n and (n + 1) there are 2n non-square numbers
(i) Between 12² and 13², there are 2 × 12 numbers i.e. 24 numbers
(ii) Between 25² and 26², there are 2 × 25 numbers i.e. 50 numbers
(iii) Between 99² and 100², there are 2 × 99 numbers i.e. 198 numbers
Note: For any number ending with 5, the square is a (a + 1) × 100 + 25
(i) 35²
= 3(3 + 1) × 100 + 25
= 1200 + 25
= 1225

(ii) 55²
= 5(5 + 1) × 100 + 25
= 3000 + 25
= 3025

(iii) 125²
= 12(12 + 1) × 100 + 25
= 12 × 13 × 100 + 25
= 15600 + 25
= 15625
