Q1 of 239 Page 45

Choose the correct answer for the following:

Which of the following is false?

A. We know that cubes of odd numbers are all odd numbers.


This is true.


B. For example:


Cube of 10 = 103


= 10 × 10 × 10


= 1000


Which ends in 3 zeros.


It is true that a perfect cube does not end with two zeros.


C. For example:


Cube of 2 = 23


= 2 × 2 × 2


= 8 (single digit)


While cube of 3 = 33


= 3 × 3 × 3


= 27 (double digit)


It can be concluded that the cube of a single digit number may be a single digit number.


D. For example:


23 = 8; 123 = 1728; 223 = 10648


Here, we can see that there are cubes which end with the digit 8.


It is false that there is no perfect cube which ends with 8.
