Step-by-Step Solution

. Adding only 60 gives 3660 and adding only 2 gives 3602 — both drop part of the correction. The trap 7200 doubles 3600, but doubling a square does not give the next square.
Answer: C) 3721

Key idea: Square root by long division

Use this for larger numbers (or non-perfect squares).

**Step 1**: Pair the digits from the right (e.g. 1849 → 18 49).
**Step 2**: Find the largest integer whose square ≤ first pair. Write it as the first quotient digit. Subtract its square.
**Step 3**: Bring down the next pair. Double the current quotient — that's your divisor's prefix. Find a digit such that (prefix × ≤ current dividend.
**Step 4**: Append to quotient, subtract, repeat.

Example: ≤ 18; remainder 2; bring down 49 → 249; double 4 = 8; find where ≤ 249; gives .) Quotient = 43.
