$\sqrt{1\, +\, \sqrt{1\, +\, \sqrt{1\, +\, .....}}}$ = ........

  1. Equals $1$
  2. Lies between $0$ and $1$
  3. Lies between $1$ and $2$
  4. Is greater than $2$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
C Correct answer
Explanation

Let $x=\sqrt { 1+\sqrt { 1+\sqrt { 1+....... }  }  }$

$\therefore { x }^{ 2 }=1+\sqrt { 1+\sqrt { 1+\sqrt { 1+....... }  }  }$
$\Longrightarrow { x }^{ 2 }=1+x$
$\Longrightarrow { x }^{ 2 }-x-1=0$
$\Longrightarrow x=\cfrac { 1\pm \sqrt { 1+4 }  }{ 2 }$
$ \Longrightarrow x=\cfrac { 1\pm \sqrt { 5 }  }{ 2 }$
$ \Longrightarrow \cfrac { 1\pm 2.236 }{ 2 } =\left( -0.618, 1.618 \right) $
We reject the negative value because, from the given expression,

$x$ is positive.
So, $x=1.618$ approximately.
$\therefore 1<x<2$

$\sqrt{(12\, +\, \sqrt{12\, +\, \sqrt{12\, +\, ........}})}\, =\, ?$

  1. 3

  2. 4

  3. 6

  4. Greater than 6
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
B Correct answer
Explanation
Let $\sqrt{(12 + \sqrt{12 + \sqrt{12 + ........}})} = x$
Then, $\sqrt{12 + x} = x$
$ \Rightarrow 12 + x = x^2$
$\Rightarrow x^2 - x - 12 = 0$ 
$\Rightarrow (x - 4) (x + 3) = 0$
$\Rightarrow x = 4$       ...(neglecting $x = -3$)

B Correct answer
Explanation

For $402$

Nearest perfect square is $400$
$\sqrt{400}$ $=$ $20$
$402$ $-$ $400$ $=$ $2$
For $1989$
Nearest perfect square is $1936$

$\sqrt{1936}$ $=$ $44$
$1936$ $-$ $1989$ $=$ $53$

For $3250$
Nearest perfect square is $3249$

$\sqrt{3249}$ $=$ $57$
$3250$ $-$ $3249$ $=$ $1$
For $825$
Nearest perfect square is $784$
$\sqrt{784}$ $=$ $28$
$825$ $-$ $784$ $=$ $41$
For $4000$
Nearest perfect square is $3969$
$\sqrt{3969}$ $=$ $63$
$4000$ $-$ $3969$ $=$ $31$
From this, Option B is correct answer.

Mr. Hansraj wants to find the least number of boxes to be added to get a perfect square. He already has $7924$ boxes with him. How many more boxes are required?

  1. $819$
  2. $412$
  3. $419$
  4. $176$
Reveal answer Fill a bubble to check yourself
D Correct answer
Explanation

Find square root by long division method.

$\therefore \sqrt {7924}$ = $89.01$

Hence, the perfect square number smaller than $7924$ is
$89^2 = 7921$
The next perfect square no. is $90^2 = 8100$

So, $8100 - 7924 = 176$
Therefore, the man needs $176$ more boxes in order to get a perfect square number.
So, option D is correct.
