Answer» We find the square roots of 121 and 169 by the method of repeated subtraction 121 – 1 = 120 120 – 3 = 117 117 – 5 = 112 112 – 7 = 115 115 – 9 = 106 106 – 11 = 95 95 – 13 = 82 82 – 15 = 67 67 – 17 = 50 50 – 19 = 31 31 – 21 = 10 Hence, we have performed operation 11 times. Now, ∴ √121 = 11 169 – 1 = 168 168 – 3 = 165 165 – 5 = 160 160 – 7 = 153 153 – 9 = 144 144 – 11 = 133 133 – 13 = 120 120 – 15 = 105 105 – 17 = 88 88 – 19 = 69 69 – 21 = 48 48 – 23 = 25 25 – 25 = 0 Clearly, we have performed subtraction 13 times ∴ √169 = 13 |
