aabb
is 1000a+100a+10b+b
and can be re written as 1100a+11b or
11(100a+b)
So for the no. to be a perfect square 100a+b should be a no like 11n
where n is a perfect square.
The maximum possibe no with 100a+b is 909.
But as we know last digit of any square no. should end in either of
0,1,4,9,6,5
and the Nos. are ( a cant be 0 , if so, aabb will no longerbe 4 digited )
100,200....900
101,201....901
104.......... 904
109..... 909
We are lucky here that We just need to add first and last digit of the numbers for checking div by 11.Now we are left with only
704 , 605, 506, 209 of which only 704 = 11*64 gives the value of n as a perfect square .
Making your a as 7, and b as 4 and the no . is 7744 .
Leaving me with option 5. 1 no.
