Multiple choice maths fun with numbers some special sequences triangular numbers properties and patterns of perfect squares

Having $5$ at units place, find the square of the number $185$.

  1. $34225$
  2. $48034$
  3. $15620$
  4. $83450$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
A Correct answer
Explanation

$185$ $=$ $(200-15)$

$185^{2}$ $=$ $(200-15)^{2}$
$(200-15)^{2}$ $=$ $200^{2}$ $+$ $15^{2}$ $-$ $2\times200\times15$
$185^{2}$ $=$ $40000$ $+$ $225$ $-$$6000$
$185^{2}$ $=$ $34225$
Hence, Option A is correct.

$21^{2}-1$ is a product of two consecutive even numbers. Find those numbers.

  1. 21 and 22

  2. 22 and 24

  3. 20 and 22

  4. 22 and 23

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

$21^{2}-1 = 400$
we can express the above number into general form $a^{2}-1 = (a + 1)\times (a - 1)$
Where a = 21
So, $21^{2}-1 = (21 + 1)\times (21 - 1)$
= $22 \times 20 = 400$
Therefore, the two even consecutive numbers are 20 and 22.

$11^{2}-1$ is a product of two consecutive even numbers. Find those two even numbers.

  1. 12 and 22

  2. 12 and 13

  3. 10 and 12

  4. 12 and 14

Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

$11^{2}-1 = 120$
we can express the above number into general form $a^{2}-1 = (a + 1)\times (a - 1)$
Where a = 11
So, $11^{2}-1 = (11 + 1)\times (11 - 1)$
= $12 \times 10 = 120$
Therefore, the two even consecutive numbers are 10 and 12.

Fill in the blanks:
$11^2 +8^2 + 3^2 = 19^2$
$12^2 + 2^2 + 10^2 = 14^2$
$14^2 + 7^2 $ + ____ = ____

  1. $7^2, 11^2$
  2. $14^2, 21^2$
  3. $7^2, 19^2$
  4. $7^2, 21^2$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

From the pattern, the third number is the difference of the first two numbers.
The fourth number can be obtained by addition of the first two numbers.
Then, the missing numbers will be
$14^2 + 7^2 + 7^2 = 21^2$
So, $7^2, 21^2$ are the missing numbers.
