But 373758 is not a perfect square as unit digit is 8

Therefore, 256, 324, 1296, 5476 are squares of even numbers.

Question 12. By just examining the units digits, can you tell which of the following cannot be whole squares?

(i) 1026

Solution:

As unit digit is 6

Therefore,it can be a perfect square.

(ii) 1028

Solution:

As unit digit is 8

Therefore, it can not be a perfect square.

(iii)1024

Solution:

As unit digit is 4

Therefore, it can be a perfect square.

(iv) 1022

Solution:

As unit digit is 2

Therefore, it can not be a perfect square.

(v) 1023

Solution:

As unit digit is 3

Therefore, it can not be a perfect square.

(vi) 1027

Solution:

The unit digit is 1. So, it may or may not be a square number

(ii) 1069

The unit digit is 9. So, it may or may not be a square number

(iii) 1234

The unit digit is 4. So, it may or may not be a square number

(iv) 56790

The unit digit is 0. So, it may or may not be a square number

(v) 76555

The unit digit is 5. So, it may or may not be a square number

Question 15. Write true (T) or false (F) for the following statements.
