Detailed Solution

Let us take the first decimal number 2.56. Let us divide it with 1.

https://www.vedantu.com/question-sets/3f9319c0-9d6a-4c36-98eb-deb373b326798519441966140483830.png

We know,

24 \times 4 = 96

25 \times 5 = 125 26 \times 6 = 156

The square root of

2.56 = 1.6

So step 1 is to make the number of decimal places even by affixing a zero on the extreme right of the decimal part if it’s not even. As step 2, in the integral part, mark the period,

(2 . 56^{¯})

. n the decimal part, mark the periods on every pair of digits beginning with

1^{st}

decimal place. Now find the square root by long division method and put the decimal point in the square root.
Now let us find the square root of 7.29

We know,

45 \times 5 = 225

46 \times 6 = 276 47 \times 7 = 329

C. Square root of 51.84

https://www.vedantu.com/question-sets/ee140993-48ac-4542-8431-f3bf2247ac5e6763465278142989340.png

{141 \times 1 = 141 142 \times 2 = 284

∴We got square root of 51.84 = 7.2
D. Now let’s get the square root of 42.25

https://www.vedantu.com/question-sets/883efb2d-0d5c-44d9-8327-32976173c8261434382987064967748.png

{123 \times 3 = 369 124 \times 4 = 496 125 \times 5 = 625

Thus square root of 42.25 = 6.5
E. Square root of 31.36

https://www.vedantu.com/question-sets/d6c01da1-50c9-4409-9abc-890d7f161e3a8430713436394927226.png

{104 \times 4 = 416 105 \times 5 = 525 106 \times 6 = 636

Thus, we got the square root of the following decimal numbers as,

2.56 = 1.6 7.29 = 2.7 51.84 = 7.2 42.25 = 6.5 31.36 = 5.6

Option 1 is correct.
