8. Read the following text carefully and answer the questions that follow: [4]
Priya is organizing her bookshelf by placing books in square and cubical stacks. She has 1296 books and wants
to know if they can be arranged in a perfect square pattern. Using prime factorization, she confirms that all
factors pair up, making it a perfect square. Later, she tries to stack 800 books into a perfect cube but finds that
the prime factors cannot form three identical groups. Priya learns that only numbers with even exponents in their
prime factors are perfect squares, and those with exponents multiples of three are perfect cubes. This helps her
understand why only locker numbers that are perfect squares remain open after the toggling process in the
famous locker puzzle.
Questions:
a. How many books are in each row if 1296 books are arranged in a perfect square? (1)
b. Is 800 a perfect cube? Justify your answer in one sentence. (1)
c. Using prime factorization, show why 1296 is a perfect square. (2)
OR
Priya now has 1323 books. What is the smallest number of books she must add to form a perfect cubical
stack? (2)
