Problem

The number $25^{64}\cdot 64^{25}$ is the square of a positive integer $N$. In decimal representation, the sum of the digits of $N$ is

$\mathrm{(A) \ } 7\qquad \mathrm{(B) \ } 14\qquad \mathrm{(C) \ } 21\qquad \mathrm{(D) \ } 28\qquad \mathrm{(E) \ } 35$

Solution

Taking the root, we get $N=\sqrt{25^{64}\cdot 64^{25}}=5^{64}\cdot 8^{25}$.

Now, we have $N=5^{64}\cdot 8^{25}=5^{64}\cdot (2^{3})^{25}=5^{64}\cdot 2^{75}$.

Combining the $2$'s and $5$'s gives us $(2\cdot 5)^{64}\cdot 2^{(75-64)}=(2\cdot 5)^{64}\cdot 2^{11}=10^{64}\cdot 2^{11}$.

This is the number $2048$ with a string of sixty-four $0$'s at the end. Thus, the sum of the digits of $N$ is $2+4+8=14\Longrightarrow\boxed{\mathrm{ (B)}\ 14}$
