Ex 6.2 Question 2.
State true or false:
(i) Cube of any odd number is even.
(ii) A perfect cube does not end with two zeroes.
(iii) If square of a number ends with 5 , then its cube ends with 25 .
(iv) There is no perfect cube which ends with 8.
(v) The cube of a two digit number may be a three digit number.
(vi) The cube of a two digit number may have seven or more digits.
(vii) The cube of a single digit number may be a single digit number.
Answer.
(i) False
Since, $1^3=1,3^3=27,5^3=125, \ldots$ are all odd.
(ii) True
Since, a perfect cube ends with three zeroes.
e.g. $10^3=1000,20^3=8000,30^3=27000, \ldots$ so on
(iii) False
Since, $5^2=25,5^3=125,15^2=225,15^3=3375$
(Did not end with 25)
(iv) False
Since $12^3=1728$
[Ends with 8]
And $22^3=10648$
[Ends with 8]
(v) False Since $10^3=1000$
[Four digit number]
And $11^3=1331$
[Four digit number]
(vi) False Since $99^3=970299$
[Six digit number]
(vii) True
$
1^3=1
$
[Single digit number]
$
2^3=8
$
[Single digit number]
