Answer:

The square of any positive integer can be of the form 5m, 5m + 1, 5m + 4 for some integer m but it cannot be of the form 5m + 2 or 5m + 3 where m is any positive integer.

Step-by-step explanation:

According to Euclid's division lemma, any positive integer can be of the form of a = bq + r where, 0 ≤ r < b.

In this case, b = 5 then, r = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4

Thus, any positive integer can be of the form of 5m, 5m + 1, 5m + 2, 5m + 3, 5m + 4.

Now, {(5q)}^{2} = {(25q)}^{2} = 5{(5)}^{2} = 5m, where m= {(5q)}^{2} , which is an integer.

(5q+1)^{2} = 25q^{2}+10q+1 = 5(5q^{2} +2q)+1= 5m+1, where m = 5q^{2} +2q, which is an integer.

(5q+2)^{2} = 25q^{2}+20q+4 = 5(5q^{2} +4q)+4= 5m+4, where m = 5q^{2} +4q, which is an integer.

(5q+3)^{2} = 25q^{2}+30q+9 = 5(5q^{2} +6q+1)+4= 5m+4, where m = 5q^{2} +6q+1, which is an integer.

(5q+4)^{2} = 25q^{2}+40q+16 = 5(5q^{2} +8q+3)+1= 5m+1, where m = 5q^{2} +8q+3, which is an integer.

Thus, the square of any positive integer is of the form 5m, 5m + 1, 5m + 4 for some integer m.

It follows that the square of any positive integer cannot be of the form 5m + 2 or 5m + 3 for some integer m.
