The following numbers are obviously not perfect squares. Give reason.

(i) 1057 (ii) 23453 (iii) 7928 (iv) 222222 (v) 64000 (vi) 89722 (vii) 222000 (viii) 505050

Solution

(i) 1057

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

 ∴ 1057 is not a perfect square.

(ii) 23453

Since, the ending digit is 7 (which is not one of 0, 1, 4, 5, 6 or 9).

 ∴ 23453 is not a perfect square.

(iii) 7928

Since, the ending digit is 8 (which is not one of 0, 1, 4, 5, 6 or 9).

 ∴ 7928 is not a perfect square.

(iv) 222222

Since, the ending digit is 2 (which is not one of 0, 1, 4, 5, 6 or 9).

 ∴ 222222 is not a perfect square.

(v) 64000

Since, the number of zeros is odd.

 ∴ 64000 is not a perfect square.

(vi) 89722

Since, the ending digits is 2 (which is not one of 0, 1, 4, 5, 6 or 9).

 ∴ 89722 is not a perfect square.

(vii) 222000

Since, the number of zeros is odd.

 ∴ 222000 is not a perfect square.

(viii) 505050

The unit’s digit is odd zero.

 ∴ 505050 can not be a perfect square.
