Lets Assume number is a then
10a+1 = 3(100000+a)

or 7a = 299999
a = 42857

So number is 42857

i) It is a square number
ii) It is an ordered number
iii) Each digit of the number is a square number

A number is an ordered number when its digits are in an increasing sequence. For example, 136 is an ordered number but 163 is not.
