Question

A farmer had 11300 plants. He planted them in such a way that each row contains as many
plants as two times the number of rows. At last, he found that 50 plants were not planted. Find
the number of rows and the number of plants in each row

Answer 1

Answer:

No. of rows = 75

No.  of plants in each row = 150

Step-by-step explanation:

No. of plants planted = 11300 - 50 = 11,250

Let's consider no. of rows = x

No.  of plants in each row = 2x (Reason - He planted them in such a way that each row contains as many plants as two times the number of rows.)

Formula

Row * No. of plants in each row = planted plants

x * 2x = 11250

$x^{2}$ = 5625

x = 75

No. of rows = x = 75

No.  of plants in each row = 2x = 2 * 75 = 150
