Detailed Solution

The given number is 4000.
Performing long division for 4000,
Question Image 122×2=244 123×3=369  
Subtracting the remainder from the dividend,
Remainder = 31.
4000 - 31 = 3969
Finding the square root of 3969,
Square root of 3969 = 63.
Hence, from 4000, the number that is subtracted to get a perfect square is 31.
Therefore, option 4 is correct.
