Question

2401 plants are planted in a garden such that each contains as many plants as the number of rows. Find the number of rows and the number of plants in each row.

Answer 1

Given number of plants in a row = Number of rows.

Number of rows × number of plants in a row = Total plants

Total plants = 2401

= 7 × 7 × 7 × 7 = 7² × 7²

= 49 × 49

∴ number of rows = 49

number of plants in a row = 49
