Properties of Perfect Squares

Friends, we have already posted 3 shortcut techniques for finding Squares. In this post we shall discuss some basic properties of Perfect Squares.

1. A number ending in 2, 3, 7 or 8 is never a perfect square. or all the square numbers end with 0, 1, 4, 5, 6 or 9 at units place. We can verify this statement by observing the squares table here. 
• Note : The converse of the above statement is not true. i.e., if a number ends in 0, 1, 4, 5, 6 or 9, then it is not necessarily a square number. For example, 170, 251, 3584, etc are not Square numbers, though these end with 0, 1, 4.
2. If a number has 1 or 9 in the unit's place, then its square ends in 1. This statement can be verified by observing the squares table.
3. When a square number ends in 6, the number, whose square it is, will have either 4 or 6 in the unit's place. 
4. The number of zeros at the end of a perfect square is always even.
• For Example : 10000 = 100², 2500 = 50², 490000=700²
5. Squares of even numbers are always even and squares of odd numbers are always odd.
• For Example : 2² = 4, 8²=64, 40²=1600, 5²=25, 9²=81, 17²=289
6. For any two consecutive natural numbers n and (n+1), we have

• (n+1) ²-n²   =   (n+1+n)(n+1-n)   =   (n+1)+n
•  For Example :
• 11 ² – 10 ² = 11+10 = 21
  15 ²-14 ² = 15+14 = 29
  19 ²-18 ² = 19+18 = 37 etc
7.  A triplet (x, y, z) of three natural numbers x, y and z is called a Pythagorean triplet if X²  + y²  = z²    
• for example, (6, 8, 10) is a Pythagorean triplet.
• Since 6² + 8² =  36+64 = 100  and 10² = 100
• Note : For any natural number n greater than 1, the Pythagorean triplet is given by (2n, n²-1, n²+1)
• Example : Find the other two numbers of a Pythagorean triplet, one number of which is 12.
• Solution :
• For any natural number m the Pythagorean Triplet = 2m, m²-1, m²+1 
• let m = 6
• So, 2m = 12
• m²-1 = 6²-1 = 36-1 = 35
• m²+1 = 6²+1 = 36+1 = 37
• So, the other two numbers of the Pythagorean Triplet are 35 and 37.
8.  The square of a natural number m is equal to the sum of the first m odd numbers. 
• Thus 1² =1 = sum of the first 1 odd number
• 2² = 4 = 1+3 = sum of the first 2 odd numbers
• 3² =9 = 1+3+5 = sum of the first 3 odd numbers 
• 5² =25 = 1+3+5+7+9 = sum of the first 5 odd numbers an so on.
9.  We can express the square of any odd number as the sum of two consecutive positive integers.
• For example, 
• 5² = 25 = 12+13
• 11² = 121 = 60+61
• 41² = 1681 = 840+841 etc 
•  Note : The converse of the above statement is not true. i.e., the sum of any two consecutive positive integers is not necessarily a perfect square or square number.
• Ex : 14+15 = 29, which is not a square number.
10. For any natural number n greater than 1, (n+1) x (n-1) = n²-1
• Using this property, we can find the product of two consecutive even or odd natural numbers easily.
• 7 x 9 = (8-1) x (8+1) = 63 =  8²-1
• 15 x 17 = (16-1) x (16+1)  = 255 =16²-1
•  24 x 26 = (25-1) x (25+1) = 624 = 25²-1
11. Observe the following :
•  1² = 1 and 2²=4, Between 1² = 1 and 2²=4, the numbers are 2 3.i.e., there are 2 x 1 = 2 non square numbers.
•  2² = 4 and 3² = 9, Between  2² = 4 and 3² = 9, the numbers are 5, 6, 7, 8 i.e., there are 2 x 2 = 4 non square numbers.
• 3² = 9 and 4²  = 16, Between 3² = 9 and 4²  = 16, the numbers are 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15. i.e., there are 2 x 3 = 6 non square numbers.
• 8² = 64 and 9²=81, Between 8² = 64 and 9²=81, the numbers are 65, 66, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74, 75, 76, 77, 78, 79, 80. i.e., there are 2 x 8 = 16 non square numbers.
• Thus, We can say that thre are 2n non perfect square numbers between the squares of the numbers n and (n+1).
12. Study the following pattern :
• 2² = 4 = 3x1+1
• or 2² = 4 = 4x1 
•  3² = 9 = 3x3
• or 3² = 9 = 4x2+1
•  4²= 16 = 3x5+1
• or 4² = 16 = 4x4
• 5² = 25 x 3x8+1
• 5²= 25 = 4x6+1
• 6² = 36 = 3x12
• Or 32 = 36 = 4x9
•   From the above we can say that
1. Squares of numbers (greater than 1) can be written as multiples of 3 or multiples of 3 plus 1.
2. Squares of numbers (greater than 1) can also be written as multiples of 4 or multiples of 4 plus 1.

 This property is very useful when we want to check whether a number is a perfect square or not. For example, if we divide a number by 3, and get the remainder 2, then the number is not a perfect square.

"Consequent upon holding of the Recruitment Examination on 8th September, 2013 for the post of Administrative Officer (both Generalist & Specialist disciplines), the management of 4 Public Sector General Insurance Companies had received complaints and representations from various quarters alleging occurrence of incidents that were apprehended to prejudice the interests of some bonafide candidates.

After examining the matter in totality, the committee came to conclusion that disruption of examination in 4 centres in Patna city was an incident in itself that was apprehended to have vitiated the sanctity of examination held at other centres also. Hence, for the purpose of fairness and natural justice it has been decided to declare the said examination as invalid.

In view of forgoing, it is felt that a fresh written examination be held for both Generalist & Specialist disciplines in lieu of the said invalid test (08/09/2013).

Tips to Solve Statement-Assumption Problems of Reasoning Section - Lesson 2

Friends, this is the Lesson 2 of Statement Assumption problems of Reasoning. So before reading this, please read the lesson 1 here. In lesson 1 we have discussed 4 important techniques to solve statement-assumptions problems. Here goes the 5th technique

5.  Course of Action : Sometimes you are given a fact / report / data / observation. Following this is a suggested course of action. As you know, a suggestion is nothing but an advice. Further, when a person gives an advice, he (at least) thinks that 

• there exists a situation that an advice is necessary and that,
• this advice will bring in some improvement. 'thus, for example, if I mention an observation that "my brother is weak in English" and then observe that "He need to concentrate more on English"; I must be assuming that
• My brother being weak in English is not a good thing (that's the reason why I'm not feeling good and giving him an advice) and
•  More concentration will improve the situation. Lets have a look at another example.
• Example : 
• statement : In our public sector units, the working atmosphere can only be described as indisciplined and uncoordinated. Therefore, some harsh disciplinary actions need to be
  
  taken.
• valid assumptions :
1. The working atmosphere of our public sector units is not ideal / needs improvement.
2. Indiscipline and lack of coordination are undesirable in any industry.
3. Taking harsh disciplinary action would improve the working atmosphere of our public sectors.
4. The benefits outweigh the disadvantages (if any) of taking harsh disciplinary actions.
• Similarly, you may contemplate and evaluate the assumptions if any positive aspect of X is mentioned and a course of action Y is suggested. The logic will be exactly on the same lines.

6. Advertisements / Notices / Appeals : In the examinations of today, the statements are usually in the form of an advertisement or an official notice or a notice issued in public interest or an appeal.

I assume that you can appreciate that advertisements are usually given by firms / companies, official notices within an office, appeals by governments or voluntary organizations and public interest notices by government or government bodies. In all these cases the following assumptions will be considered valid,

1. An advertisement / appeal / notice does have some effect.
2. In case of an advertisement, that which is being highlighted is looked for and expected by the people.
3. In case of a public-interest notice, it is the duty of those who issue it, to issue such notices (those no smoking ads etc)
4. In case of a public interest notice, what is being advised must be beneficial for people and its not-practice harmful in some way.
5. In case of an appeal, the reason for issuing it exists (you can determine the reason using your common scence).
6. In case of an official notice, the effect of its implementation will be beneficial for the organization.

• Example :
• Statement : Use our cream, it will make you look like Katrina Kaif.
• Valid Assumptions :
• The advertisement will have some effect on those who read it.
• People will expect that they look good.
• Statement : Smoking is injurious to health and it may cause cancer.
• Valid Assumptions :
• This notice will be read by all smokers
• Smoking is not good for health

And last but not the least.... remember friends, Assumptions are never exclusive of one another. I mean, if they give you the choice "either of them is implicit", in 99.99 cases it is wrong. So better never choose this option.

That's all for now friends. Now lets have a look at some example problems on Statement-Assumption here.

01:00 - By Unknown 0

How to Solve Statement and Assumptions Problems in Reasoning Section ? - Lesson 1

In these type of problems they will give you a statement and two assumptions (numbered I and II) followed by five options. An assumption is something supposed or taken for granted. You have to consider the given statement and the assumptions and then have to decide which of the given assumptions is implicit in the given statement. You have to pick the correct answer according to it.

What is a Statement ?

We can simply say that a Statement is nothing but something that is stated. Something you say or write in a formal or official way is called a statement.

What is assumption?

We can simply say that an An assumption is  something which is assumed / supposed / taken for granted from the statement. When you read a statement, you may not get everything you need from the given statement. There is a lot which they leave unsaid. In many of the times you assume things on your own, based on the given statement. Assume that you are watching your favorite hero's movie. The villain of the movie is doing so many nasty things, tortures hero's family... Now hero comes into the scene. Now you say "Aagaya mera Hero, now he will kill everybody in the villain's den!!!". Now, in this statement of yours, you co-relate two facts.

Fact One : Hero is a supernatural being (according to the filmy law)

Fact Two : Villain should be defeated

How do you relate these two ? Obviously by assuming that "being a protagonist of an Indian film, our hero should win ;) (no matter how strong the villain may be) Well, this is called assumption...

Now lets have a look at some key points you should keep in mind while dealing with the statements and assumptions problems :

1. Keywords : While evaluating an assumption you can always take a clue from some words that lend a definite meaning to the statement. Words like "all", "only", "every" etc are definitive in nature whereas words like "some", "a few", "many" etc are not. Therefore you should be able to differentiate between the implications of "All efforts are being taken" and "Some efforts are being taken". Have a look at an example.
• Increasing rape cases are damaging the clean image of India. The Indian Govt. should make every effort to kill the accused.
• Assumptions :
1. Killing accused is the best solution to reduce rape cases.
2. Killing accused is reasonably good solution to reduce rape cases.
3. Killing accused is the only solution to reduce rape cases.
4. Killing accused will definitely reduces the rape cases.
5. Killing accused will probably reduces the rape cases.
• Explanation : In the above example, statements 2 and 5 are valid assumptions while 1, 3 and 4 use definitive words such as "best", "only" and "definitely". The statement in the question mentions a fact that the rape cases are damaging the clean image of the country and it also makes a suggestion that accused should be punished. Undoubtedly, the author of the advice is assuming that killing accused will help reducing the rape cases. But, there is no hint whatsoever that killing is the only solution or the best solution or a definitely effective solution. 
• The above example illustrates how the use of definitive words may lend a different 'tone' to a sentence and how one should be careful about them.
• Note :  10 out of 10 people will choose options 1, 4 and 5 to the above example. Because we strongly believe that its the only correct way to treat those people. But friends,  they are not asking about your personal opinion. You just have to take decisions according to the given statement. This is the reason why, most of us lose marks in this area. So, Don't forget this fact.
2. Existence / Non Existence of the Subject : This category makes a very simple assumption that what is being talked about must be existing. Similarly, if its absence is being talked about, it must not be existing. Lets have a look at an example.
• Example : Love marriages mostly end in divorce.
• Assumptions :
1. Love marriages do take place
2. There are cases of divorce.
3. Adjectives : We know that an adjective is something which denotes a quality of the subject. Naturally then, if an adjective is attached (unconditionally) to any subject, it must be assumed that "the subject does have the quality as denoted by the adjective". Lets have a look at an example,
• Example : His love affair with that girl killed him.
• Valid assumption : He is in love.
4. Cause and Effect : Some statements mention a cause-and-effect relationship. The conjunctions between the clauses are usually "therefore", "as", "hence", "thus" etc. In all such cases it would be a valid assumption to say that "this cause leads to this effect". There may be different versions of the question: some times the cause-effect relationship may be  explicitly stated, sometimes it may be in the form of "because no cause, hence no effect" and sometimes in teh form of "Although cause, yet no effect". Lets have a look at an example,
• Example : 
• Statement : You don't have IBPS Rank. They wont call you for Interview.
• Valid Assumption : They will only call the people who have IBPS Ranks.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Online Trading / Direct Access Trading

Friends, in our last post we have discussed about the introduction of Online Trading and a few details about the online trading in India. In this post we shall discuss the advantages and some disadvantages of online trading.

The benefits enjoyed by an individual investor due to online trading have been summarized below :

1. Independent decisions due to direct access to the markets : An investor with an internet connection can track stock and commodity prices and take decisions independently without depending on the brokers for market information.
2. Elimination of the middle man : Investing online gives the investor a sense of control over his wealth. Buying and selling of stock no longer requires another individual to carry it out.
3. Prevents manipulation by brokers : Most brokers live on commissions, hence their tactics are in their own favor first, the brokerage house next and finally the client. In case of online trading trade transactions are transparent and clear, hence the brokers and financial investors cannot manipulate.
   
4. Inexpensive and affordable commission charges : Increased volume of transactions due to online trading has brought down the operational cost to minimum.
5. Internet as an information superhighway : Information related to stocks, company fundamentals, technical analysis, expert views, market news, etc., which were once only available to licensed brokers, are now at the fingertips of anyone and everyone. 
6. Diverse range of investment products and choices : Online brokerages are offering more products to the consumer, so as to give the consumer a wider choice.
7. Speed and accuracy of transaction execution : Speed and accuracy are the two most important features of online transactions.
8. Security Issues : Given all of the above, clients were skeptical to go online simply because of security reasons.

The disadvantages of online trading include fulfillment of certain conditions for availing online trading account, greater risk if traders are done extensively on margin, unsafe if it is done broadly on margin, fee of online brokers varies monthly software usage fees, chances of trading loss because of mechanical or platform failures and need of active speedy internet connection (which is not possible in rural areas) etc. Similarly, online investors are fully responsible for their trading decisions.
