Question

A General wishing to arrange his 5954 men in the form of a square found that 25 men were left out. How many were there in each row?

Answer 1

Answer:

77

Step-by-step explanation:

let number of rows = a

number of me in each row = a (as the arrangements form a square)

out of 5954, 25 men left out.

so no of men properly arranged = 5954-25 = 5929

so, a×a = 5829

=> a^2 = 77^2

=> a = 77
