Question 22

Complete the table below.

Solution

We need to find the cube of several numbers by multiplying each number by itself three times.

Step 1 — Calculate $6^3$

We find the cube of 6 by multiplying 6 by itself three times.

$6^3 = 6 \times 6 \times 6$

$= 36 \times 6$

$\boxed{216}$

Step 2 — Calculate $7^3$

We find the cube of 7 by multiplying 7 by itself three times.

$7^3 = 7 \times 7 \times 7$

$= 49 \times 7$

$\boxed{343}$

Step 3 — Calculate $8^3$

The table has a blank entry for $8^3$ . We calculate its value.

$8^3 = 8 \times 8 \times 8$

$= 64 \times 8$

$\boxed{512}$

Step 4 — Calculate $10^3$

The OCR misread $10^3$ as $10^5$ . We calculate the cube of 10.

$10^3 = 10 \times 10 \times 10$

$= 100 \times 10$

$\boxed{1000}$

Step 5 — Calculate $12^3$

We find the cube of 12 by multiplying 12 by itself three times.

$12^3 = 12 \times 12 \times 12$

$= 144 \times 12$

$\boxed{1728}$

Step 6 — Calculate $15^3$

We find the cube of 15 by multiplying 15 by itself three times.

$15^3 = 15 \times 15 \times 15$

$= 225 \times 15$

$\boxed{3375}$

Diagram 6

Step 7 — Calculate $16^3$

We find the cube of 16 by multiplying 16 by itself three times.

$16^3 = 16 \times 16 \times 16$

$= 256 \times 16$

$\boxed{4096}$

Diagram 7

Step 8 — Calculate $20^3$

We find the cube of 20 by multiplying 20 by itself three times.

$20^3 = 20 \times 20 \times 20$

$= 400 \times 20$

$\boxed{8000}$

Diagram 8

Answer

$6^3$ = 216 $7^3$ = 343 $8^3$ = 512 $10^3$ = 1000 $12^3$ = 1728 $15^3$ = 3375 $16^3$ = 4096 $20^3$ = 8000

Context: Queen Ratnamanjuri left a puzzle in her will for her son Khoisnam and 99 relatives. They are in a room with 100 lockers, numbered 1 to 100.

Person 1 opens every locker.
Person 2 toggles every 2nd locker (closes if open, opens if closed).
Person 3 toggles every 3rd locker (3rd, 6th, 9th, ...).
Person 4 toggles every 4th locker (4th, 8th, 12th, ...). This continues until all 100 get their turn.

Q. Before the process begins, Khoisnam realises that he already knows which lockers will be open at the end. How did he figure out the answer?

Hint: Find out how many times each locker is toggled.

If a number ends in 0, 1, 4, 5, 6 or 9, is it always a square?

Write 5 numbers such that you can determine by looking at their units digit that they are not squares.

Let us consider square numbers ending in 6: $16 = 4^2$ , $36 = 6^2$ , $196 = 14^2$ , $256 = 16^2$ , $576 = 24^2$ , and $676 = 26^2$ . Which of the following numbers have the digit 6 in the units place?

(i) $38^2$ (ii) $34^2$ (iii) $46^2$ (iv) $56^2$ (v) $74^2$ (vi) $82^2$

Q28

Context: Look at the following pattern of consecutive odd numbers: $1 = 1 = 1^3$ $3 + 5 = 8 = 2^3$ $7 + 9 + 11 = 27 = 3^3$ $13 + 15 + 17 + 19 = 64 = 4^3$ $21 + 23 + 25 + 27 + 29 = 125 = 5^3$ $31 + 33 + 35 + 37 + 39 + 41 = 216 = 6^3$

Later in this series, we get the following set of consecutive numbers: $91 + 93 + 95 + 97 + 99 + 101 + 103 + 105 + 107 + 109$

Q. Can you tell what this sum is without doing the calculation?
