5. 

1397 x 1397 = ?

[A]. 1951609[B]. 1981709
[C]. 18362619[D]. 2031719
[E]. None of these

Answer: Option E

Explanation:

1397 x 1397 = (1397)2
= (1400 - 3)2
= (1400)2 + (3)2 - (2 x 1400 x 3)
= 1960000 + 9 - 8400
= 1960009 - 8400
= 1951609.

If you want to multip[ly the theis type of big no follow the step:
1397 * 1397=?
1397*1400=1955800
and (1397+3=1400) so 1397*3=4191
1955800-4191=1951609

another example:
234*52
you can take 234*50=11700
and (52-2=50) so 234*2=468
11700+468=12168

Just take a nearest whole value.

Hai tamil, your explanation is nice.

Can someone make me understand this line = (1400)2 + (3)2 - (2 x 1400 x 3) ?

Just that is a formula:

(a-b)^2 = a^2 + b^2 + 2ab in the same way

(1400-3)^2 = 1400^2 + 3^2 + 2*1400*3

This method of converting the nmber to nearest whole and make all the calculation W.R.T (a^2-b^2).

I think, Cris Cross method is much simpler to all, as we start getting values from unit place so we dont have to find all the digits. Find one check the option, second number check the option, and so on..
1397
*1397
--------
(AL MULTIPICATION ARE DONE W.R.T LOWER NUMBER )
1) Unit place = 7*7 = 49 (put 9 in unit place and 4 as carry for next step)
(Observe the option, all have 9 in
unit place, so carry on for next
value.)

2) tens place = (7*9 + 9*7) = 63 + 63 + 4 = 130
(Put 0 in Tens place and 13 as carry for next step if required)
( the 4 in the addition comes from above step carry)
answer till now is 09
(Check the options.....only 2 are with this
digits, so step 3....)

3) hundreds place = (7*3 + 3*7 + 9*9) = 21 + 21 + 81 + 13 = 136
(13 is carry from privous step.)
(Again put 6 in 100's pace and 13 as carry
for nxt step.)
answer till this stage is 609
(check the options.... only one option
matching this number so no
more calculation)
answer is A.

eg : if digits are abcd * wxyz
1) here (d*z) gives unit place number.
2) (z*c + y*d)gives tens place number.
3) (z*b + x*d + y*c) gives hundred place number.
4) (z*a + w*d + y*d + x*c)gives thousand number.
(OBSERVE THE TRICK)
5) (y*a + w*c + x*b) given nxt number to left.
6) (x*a + w*b) give nxt number.
7) (w*a) gives last number.
(Please note when ever you get CARRY from one STEP please add That Carry to The Step Followed after that step)
e.g: if step 1 results 57 as the answer put 7 at unit place and carry 5 to 2 step, add this five to 2 step result and so on...
if the explanation look wierd or trouble some please google vedic maths, and the name of this method is criss cross method.
