Ex 6.3 Class 8 Maths Question 3.

Find the square roots of 100 and 169 by the method of repeated subtraction.

Solution:
Using the method of repeated subtraction of consecutive odd numbers, we have
(i) 100 – 1 = 99, 99 – 3 = 96, 96 – 5 = 91, 91 – 7 = 84, 84 – 9 = 75, 75 – 11 = 64, 64 – 13 = 51, 51 – 15 = 36, 36 – 17 = 19, 19 – 19 = 0
(Ten times repetition)
Thus, √100 = 10

(ii) 169 – 1 = 168, 168 – 3 = 165, 165 – 5 = 160, 160 – 7 = 153, 153 – 9 = 144, 144 – 11 = 133, 133 – 13 = 120, 120 – 15 = 105, 105 – 17 = 88, 88 – 19 = 69, 69 – 21 = 48, 48 – 23 = 25, 25 – 25 = 0
(Thirteen times repetition)
Thus, √169 = 13

Ex 6.3 Class 8 Maths Question 9.

Find the smallest square number that is divisible by each of the numbers 4, 9 and 10.

Solution:
The smallest number divisible by each of the numbers 4, 9 and 10 is their LCM, which is (2 × 2 × 9 × 5), i.e., 180.
Now, 180 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 5
