Answer:

Since, the number of plants in a row and the number of columns are the same.

∴ Their product must be a square number.

The gardener has 1000 plants.

1000 is not a perfect square, and (31)2 < 1000

(There is a remainder of 39).

Obviously the next square number = 32

Number of plants required to be added = (32)2 – 1000

= 1024 – 1000 = 24
