By repeated subtraction of odd numbers starting from 1, find whether the following numbers are perfect squares or not? If the number is a perfect square then find its square root.
(i) 121
Consider . Then
81 - 1 = 80
80 - 3 = 77
77 - 5 = 72
72 - 7 = 65
65 - 9 = 56
56 - 11 = 45
45 - 13 = 32
32 - 15 = 17
17 - 17 = 0.
Since zero is obtained in the 9th step thus = 9.
