Ex 6.1 Class 8 Maths Question 4.
Observe the following pattern and find the missing digits.
112 = 121
1012 = 10201
10012 = 1002001
1000012 = 1…2…1
100000012 = ………
Solution:
According to the above pattern, we have
1000012 = 10000200001
100000012 = 100000020000001

Ex 6.1 Class 8 Maths Question 5.
Observe the following pattern and supply the missing numbers.
112 = 121
1012 = 10201
101012 = 102030201
10101012 = ……….
……….2 = 10203040504030201
Solution:
According to the above pattern, we have
10101012 = 1020304030201
1010101012 = 10203040504030201

Ex 6.1 Class 8 Maths Question 6.
Using the given pattern, find the missing numbers.
12 + 22 + 22 = 32
22 + 32 + 62 = 72
32 + 42 + 122 = 132
42 + 52 + ….2 = 212
52 + ….2 + 302 = 312
62 + 72 + …..2 = ……2
Solution:
According to the given pattern, we have
42 + 52 + 202 = 212
52 + 62 + 302 = 312
62 + 72 + 422 = 432

Ex 6.1 Class 8 Maths Question 7.
Without adding, find the sum.
(i) 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9
(ii) 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + 11 + 13 + 15 + 17 + 19
(iii) 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + 11 + 13 + 15 + 17 + 19 + 21 + 23
Solution:
We know that the sum of n odd numbers = n2
(i) 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 = (5)2 = 25 [∵ n = 5]
(ii) 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + 11 + 13 + 15 + 17 + 19 = (10)2 = 100 [∵ n = 10]
(iii) 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + 11 + 13 + 15 + 17 + 19 + 21 + 23 = (12)2 = 144 [∵ n = 12]

Ex 6.1 Class 8 Maths Question 8.
(i) Express 49 as the sum of 7 odd numbers.
(ii) Express 121 as the sum of 11 odd numbers.
Solution:
(i) 49 = 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + 11 + 13 (n = 7)
(ii) 121 = 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + 9 + 11 + 13 + 15 + 17 + 19 + 21 (n = 11)

Ex 6.1 Class 8 Maths Question 9.
How many numbers lie between squares of the following numbers?
(i) 12 and 13
(ii) 25 and 26
(iii) 99 and 100.
Solution:
(i) We know that numbers between n2 and (n + 1)2 = 2n
Numbers between 122 and 132 = (2n) = 2 × 12 = 24
(ii) Numbers between 252 and 262 = 2 × 25 = 50 (∵ n = 25)
(iii) Numbers between 992 and 1002 = 2 × 99 = 198 (∵ n = 99)
