Question

There are 2304 students in a school. The PET teacher wants them to stand in rows and columns such that the number of rows is equal to the number of columns. Find the number of rows?

Answer 1

48 rows and columns m I ri8

Answer 2

Let the rows be x and columns be y.

Given, rows and columns are equal i.e x = y    ------- (1)

Given that x * y = 2304

                  x * x = 2304

                  x^2 = 2304

                   x = root 2304

                      = 48

The number of rows = 48.


Hope this helps!
