Answer is A

As 21+22+23+24=90.

90/10=9 Which is a perfect square.

This problem can be easily done by Trial and error method.

First Estimate the sum of any 4 numbers around the given number.

Then Divide the sum by 10

Find if it is near a perfect square

Now Use Trial and error method to find the number isf neccessary
