Find the square of 25.(a) 625(b) 525(c) 635(d) 615I have been asked this question by my college director while I was bunking the class.This interesting question is from Finding the Square of a Number topic in division Squares and Square Roots of Mathematics – Class 8

Answer»

The correct answer is (a) 625

Easiest explanation: There is a beautiful pattern followed by all the numbers ENDING with 5. We can get the square of any number ending with 5 WITHOUT actually calculating it. All the numbers ending with 5 shows 25 at the end of their squares, and the other places can be filled by MULTIPLYING the next CONSECUTIVE number. For EXAMPLE: 25^2 = (2×3)25 i.e.625 (the step shown is just for understanding).
