By observing the above table
1.       If the cube is below 1000 then the cuberoot  is below 10
2.       If the cube is between 1000 to 8000, then the cuberooe is between 11 to 20.
3.       If the cube is between 8001 to 27000, then the cuberoot is between 21 to 30
4.       If the cube is between 27001 to 64000, then the cuberoot  is between 31 to 40
5.       If the cube is between 64001 to 125000, then the cuberoot  is between 41 to 50.
6.       If the cube is between 125001 to 216000, then the cuberoot  is between 51 to 60.
7.       If the cube is between 216000 to 343001, then the cuberoot is between 61 to 70.
8.       If the cube is between 343001 to 512000, then the cuberoot  is between 71 to 80.
9.       If the cube is between 512001 to 729000, then the cuberoot  is between 81 to 90.
        If the cube is between 729001 to 100000, then the cuberoot  is between 91 to 100.

By seeing the above table when the last digit in the cube is 1,4,5,6,9,0 the the last digit in the cube root also same. But when the last digit in the cube is 2,3,8,7 then subtract these digits from 10, then the last digit in cuberoot number will appear.
Now we will see for the cube related problems.
Volume of a cube surface=sidexsidexside=side 3
Surface area of a cube=6xside2
Problem1:volume of a cube is 1728 cm 3 . what is the side of a cube?
Step1:volume of a cube =1728= side 3
Step2:find the cubic root of 1728
Step3:last digit in cube is 8. Last digit in cube root is 2
Step4:cube is between 1000 to 8000. So cuberoot exist between 10 to 20.
Step4:so cuberoot is 12. That is side of a cube is 12cm.

Problem2:volume of a cube is 729 cm 3 . what is the side of a cube?
Step1:volume of a cube =729= side 3
Step2:find the cubic root of 729
Step3:last digit in cube is 9. Last digit in cube root is 9
Step4:cube is below 1000 . So cuberoot exist below 10.
Step4:so cuberoot is 9. That is side of a cube is 9cm.

Problem3:volume of a cube is 1331 cm 3 . what is the surface area of a cube?
Step1:volume of a cube =1331= side 3
Step2:find the cubic root of 1331
Step3:last digit in cube is 1. Last digit in cube root is 1
Step4:cube is between 1000 to 8000. So cuberoot exist between 10 to 20.
Step4:so cuberoot is 11. That is side of a cube is 11.
Step5: surface area of a cube is  =6xside2 =6x11x11=726cm2

average of first 100 odd numbers

  Odd  numbers are 1,3,5,7,9,…. Average = sum of elements/  no  of elments Now we will see the sum of elements: Sum of first 2 odd  numbers: 1+3= 4= 2 2 Sum of first 3 odd  numbers: 1+3+5= 9= 3 2 Sum of first 4 odd  numbers: 1+3+5+7=16= 4 2 Sum of first 5 odd  numbers: 1+3+5+7+9 = 25 = 5 2 Sum of first n odd  numbers: 1+3+5+7+9+. . . . .  n numbers= n 2 Now we will see average: Average of first 2 odd numbers= (1+3)/2                                                           = 4/2                                                                 =2 Average of first 3 odd  numbers= (1+3+5)/3                                                           = 9/3                                                                 =3 Average of first 4 odd  numbers= (1+3+5+7)/4                                                           = 16/4                                                                 =4 Average of first 5 odd numbers= (1+3+5+7+9)/5            

LOGIC BEHIND MAGIC SQUARE

Assume a magic square of 3x3 A B C D E F G H I The above figure shows a 3x3 magic square. In the magic square sum of colum, row, diagnol numbers should be same A+B+C=D+E+F=G+H+I=A+D+G=B+E+H=C+F+I=A+E+I=C+E+G=sum A+B+C D+E+F G+H+I A+D+G B+E+H C+F+I A+E+I C+E+G By  seeing the  above there is 8 type of sum is available. Row wise-3,  column wise-3, diagnol wise-2. Condition#1: There are 8 different combinations are there with same sum in a magic square. In the above 8 combinations A=2 times, B= 3 times, C= 2 times, D=3 times E=4 times, F=3 times, G=2 times, H=3 times, I= 2 times Hence the above forms the condition#2. In simply condition#2, middle number E appears 4 times in 8 combinations. Hence row, column, diagnol sum should be equal. In 3x3 magic square we are taking numbers from 1 to 9. From 9 numbers we need to take 3 numbers. From combination f

average of first n natural numbers

The natural numbers are 1,2,3,4,5,. . . . . . now we will see the sum of natural numbers                       sum of first 3 natural numbers= 1+2+3=6 the above can be written as                      sum of first 3 natural numbers= 1+2+3=6=3(3+1)/2                      sum of first 4 natural numbers= 1+2+3+4=4(4+1)/2                      then sum of n natural numbers=1+2+3+......n terms=n(n+1)/2 then the average formula = sum of elements/no of elements                     the average of n natural numbers= sum of elements/ no of elements                                                                         =(n(n+1)/2)/n                                                                         =n(n+1)/2xn                                                                         =(n+1)/2   THE AVERAGE OF FIRST N NATURAL  NUMBERS=(n+1)/2 The average of first 5 natural numbers                                  sum of 5 natural numbers=1+2+3+4+5=15
