There are two ways of reading the question part least "even square integer greater than 4"

- INTEGER is greater than "4" .. so that means [spoiler]"6" so 27 < 36 {C}[/spoiler]
- Square is greater than "4" ... so that means [spoiler]"16" .. so, 8 < 16 {B}[/spoiler]

What do you say?

There's only one way of reading this question, and that is "read carefully". The least even square integer greater than 4 is 16, which is not a cube integer, a cube just less than this will be the greatest positive cube integer we look for.

series of squares after 4 --- 9,16

perfect cubes 1,8,27

8 is less than 9 & 16

so answer is 8.

Well I didn't understand meaning of even square number. Does it means square of even number?
