Create a file in your plug-in folder called RemoveVersion.php(you can name whatever you like) put below code in it along with plug-in declaration comments. Then go to admin dashboard plugin area and then active the remove version plug-in.

  $version_str = '?ver='.$wp_version;
  $version_str_offset = strlen( $src ) - strlen( $version_str );
