Q.2. State true or false.
(i) Cube of any odd number is even.
(ii) A perfect cube does not end with two zeros.
(iii) If square of a number ends with 5, then its cube ends with 25.
(iv) There is no perfect cube which ends with 8.
(v) The cube of a two digit number may be a three digit number.
(vi) The cube of a two digit number may have seven or more digits.
(vii) The cube of a single digit number may be a single digit number.
Ans:
(i) False
(ii) True
(iii) True
(iv) False
(v) False
(vi) False
(vii) True
Q.3. You are told that 1,331 is a perfect cube. Can you guess without factorisation what is its cube root? Similarly, guess the cube roots of 4913, 12167, 32768.
Ans: 1st pair = 331
Unit digit =1
Cube root digit =1
2nd pair = 1
Cube root tens digit = 1
Therefore, answer is 11.
