Answer:

6

Explanation:

The computation of the least possible whole number is shown below:

Here we need the factors of 150 i.e.

= 3 × 5 × 2 × 5

Here we can add to one box and the 5 to the other box

And, now if we can add 3 to one box and in the other we can add 2 so they cant be equal to each other

Now lets try 5 × 6 and 5

So, here The perfect square is 900

= 30 × 30

= 900

Hence, the number would be 6
