Detailed Solution

Given number is 525.
We try to find out the square root of 525.
Question ImageWe observe that (22)2<525<(23)2.
The required number to be added=(23)2-525=529-525=4
Required perfect square number =525+4=529
Clearly, 529=23.
Thus, 4 must be added to 525 to make it a perfect square of 23.
Therefore, option (3) is correct.
