AHSME 1961 Problem 4

    Let the set consisting of the squares of the positive integers be called uu; thus uu is the set 1,4,9,16…1, 4, 9, 16 \ldots. If a certain operation on one or more members of the set always yields a member of the set, we say that the set is closed under that operation. Then uu is closed under: (A) Addition(B) Multiplication(C) Division(D) Extraction of a positive integral root(E) None of these\textbf{(A)}\ \text{Addition} \textbf{(B)}\ \text{Multiplication} \textbf{(C)}\ \text{Division} \\ \textbf{(D)}\ \text{Extraction of a positive integral root} \textbf{(E)}\ \text{None of these}
