Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

• We will find the square root of 340
• =18
• 16 soldiers are excluded

Answer 2

16 soldiers must be excluded from the group to make such as arrange possible.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of soldiers = 340

Let the number of soldiers be 'x'.

Let the number of column be 'x'.

So, According to question, it becomes,

$x^2=340$

But we know that

340 is not a perfect square,

Since, 324 is perfect square

So, $340-324=16$

Hence, 16 soldiers must be excluded from the group to make such as arrange possible.
