Question No. 33 to 37 are based on the given text. Read the text carefully and answer the questions: [5]

res
If a natural number m can be expressed as N², where m is also a natural number, then m is a square number
m = N²
The square of any natural numbers end with 0, 1, 4, 5, 6 or 9 at unit place.

p
None of these end with 2, 3, 7 or 8 at unit place.
ex
The square of a number with 0 at unit digits also ends with 0.

For example 102 = 100 and 1002 = 10000

The square of a number with 1 and 9 at unit digits ends with 1.
on

For example 112 = 121 and 92 = 81

The square of a number with 4 and 6 at unit digits ends with 6.
ati

For example 142 = 196 and 62 = 36

The square of a number with 3 and 7 at unit digits ends with 9
For example 72 = 49 and 132 = 169
uc

Question No. 38 to 42 are based on the given text. Read the text carefully and answer the questions: [5]
Let us see how to express the decimal numbers in expanded form.
For example we take number 3425.365
3425.465 = (3 × 1000) + (4 × 100) + (2 × 10) + (5 × 1)
