Question

There are 2121 students in a school. A PE teacher wants to arrange maximum possible number of students in the field such that the number of rows is equal to the number of columns. How many students are left out in this arrangement?

Answer 1

Answer:

5 students are left out in the arrangement.

Step-by-step explanation:

If the number of rows = the number of columns  

Then there must be an equal arrangement

Since the total number of students in the school is 2121

Then, the students that are left out in this arrangement = 2121 - (√2121 X √2121

Note the result of the square root would only consider the whole number, the digits after the decimal point signifies the remaining number that can't fit into the arrangement

so, √2121 = 46.05 (so 46 would be used)

= 2121 - (46 X 46)

= 2121 - 2116 = 5

Therefore 5 students are left out in the arrangement.
