    C.

    D.

    7

    Correct option is D

    Given:
    The smallest number by which 6300 must be multiplied for making a perfect square.
    Concept Used:
    An integer that can be expressed as the square of another integer is called a perfect square.
    It can be obtained by the factorisation method.
    Solution:
    The factor of 6300 = 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 5 × 5 × 7.
    There are two 2's in factor, two 3's, two 5's and one 7
    So, If we multiply 6300 by 7.
    We get: 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 5 × 5 × 7 × 7 = 22 × 32 × 52 × 72 which is perfect square
    ∴ The least number is 7
    Hence, we have to multiply 6300 by 7 to make it a perfect square.
