Answer»

Let the number be x

From GIVEN data-

Number when divided by 5 leaves a REMAINDER 3

∴ x = 5q + 3→ dividend= divisor× quotient+ remainder

When SQUARE of number is divided by 5

∴ (5q+3)2 ÷ 5

⇒ (25q2 + 30q + 9) ÷ 5→ (a + b)2 = a2 + 2AB + b2

⇒ [5(5q2 + 6q + 1) + 4] ÷ 5

Here we can notice that when divided by 5 square of that number leaves 4 as a remainder
