Question

A general wishing to put his 9030 soldiers in a square formation, finds that he has 5 extra soldiers. Find the number of soldiers in front row

Answer 1

Given:

Total number of soldiers = 9030

Number of extra soldiers = 5

To find:

Find the number of soldiers in front row?

Solution:

Since, there are 5 extra soldiers in a square formation.

Therefore, number of soldiers required to make a square formation

= 9030 - 5

= 9025

Let number of soldiers in a row be x

x × x = 9025

x = 95

Therefore, the number of soldiers in front row is 95
