Square Root

Nearest value of a square root from four options

Paper I Part A Q1: Nearest value of a square root from four options

Answer: 9.3 (option iv)

💡 What it's asking: Find which perfect squares 87 sits between, then square the choices to see which comes closest to 87.

  1. 187 lies between 81 = 9² and 100 = 10², so √87 is between 9 and 10.
  2. 287 is close to 81, so √87 is just a little over 9. That rules out 8.7.
  3. 3Square the likely choice: 9.3² = 86.49, very close to 87.
  4. 49² = 81 and 9.6² = 92.16 are further away, so the answer is 9.3.

✅ 86.49 is only 0.51 away from 87, closer than any other choice. ✓

87 කුමන පූර්ණ වර්ග දෙක අතරද බලා, විකල්ප වර්ග කර 87 ට ආසන්නතම එක සොයන්න.

  1. 87, 81 = 9² සහ 100 = 10² අතර නිසා √87, 9 ත් 10 ත් අතරයි.
  2. 87, 81 ට ආසන්න නිසා √87, 9 ට ටිකක් වැඩියි. එබැවින් 8.7 ඉවත් වේ.
  3. ගැළපිය හැකි විකල්පය වර්ග කරන්න: 9.3² = 86.49, 87 ට ඉතා ආසන්නයි.
  4. 9² = 81 සහ 9.6² = 92.16 ඈතින් ඇති නිසා පිළිතුර 9.3.

Least Common Multiple of Algebraic Expressions

Least common multiple of two algebraic terms

Paper I Part A Q2: Least common multiple of two algebraic terms

Answer: 2x^2y^2

💡 What it's asking: The LCM (lowest common multiple) must include every factor from both terms, each with its highest power.

  1. 1Numbers: the LCM of 2 and 1 is 2.
  2. 2x: the highest power that appears is x².
  3. 3y: the highest power that appears is y².
  4. 4Multiply them: LCM = 2x²y².

✅ Divide 2x²y² by each term; both divide exactly with nothing left over. ✓

කු.පො.ගු. (කුඩාම පොදු ගුණාකාරය) පද දෙකේම සෑම සාධකයක්ම, එහි ඉහළම බලයෙන්, අඩංගු විය යුතුයි.

  1. සංඛ්‍යා: 2 සහ 1 හි කු.පො.ගු. 2.
  2. x: ඇති ඉහළම බලය x².
  3. y: ඇති ඉහළම බලය y².
  4. ගුණ කරන්න: කු.පො.ගු. = 2x²y².
