Question

Every day, a factory making pencils sends 2077 pencils to the town market and 3701 pencils to markets

in other states. We know that a little more than 614 pencils are remaining in the factory. If we know that

the factory makes a perfect square number of pencils every day, what is the smallest possible number of

pencils remaining in the factory?​

Answer 1

Answer: 622

Step-by-step explanation:

let the no.of pencils remaining in the factory be (614+x)

total pencils mmanufactured everyday,

2077 + 3701 + (614+x) = 6392+x.

The question says that the factory makes a perfect square numbers of pencils every day. Nearest perfect square to 6392 is 6400.

Therefore, 6400 = 6392 + x

                   6400 - 6392 = x

                     x = 8.

no.of pencils remaining in the factory =  614 + x = 614 + 8 = 622.

Answer 2

Answer:

No. of pencils remaining in the factory = 614 + x

Total no. of manufactured by the factory everyday

= 2077 + 3701 +  614 + x = 6392

( ATQ ) According to the question

The question is saying that perfect square number of pencils are made everyday

So, the square number which is more tha 6392 is 6400

Hence,

= 6392 + x = 6400 = 80 ^ 2

= x = 6400 - 6392

= x = 8

8 pencils more are remaining in the factory
