Expert Answer
For part (a), since the number given is 2361, we have to find a number whose square is less than 2361.
We could have started with 40 also. We know that 402=1600. There is a huge gap between 1600 and 2361. So we can try for numbers more than 40, like 41, 42 and so on.
We can use the trick to quickly find the square of a number ending in 5. 452=2025 which is less than 2361.
Similarly for part (b), we could have started from 1202. But since 125 ends in 5 and its square can be found easily, we started from 125.
(Method to quickly find square of a number ending in 5. Let the number be "N5". We find N(N+1) and we simply place 25 to the right of that number.
For example to find square of 45, we find 4(4+1)=4*5=20, and we place 25 to the right of it. So the number becomes 2025. Hence, 452=2025.
To find the square of 125, we find 12(12+1)=12*13=156, and we place 25 to the right of it. So the number becomes 15625. Hence, 1252=15625.
