1521 trees are planted in a garden in such a way that there are as many trees in each row as there are rows in the garden. Find the number of rows and number of trees in each row.

Answer»

Let the no. of trees planted in a garden for each row = x say. 

No. of rows in the garden = x 

∴ Total no. of trees in the garden = x × x = x2 

According to the sum x2 = 1521

x = \(\sqrt{1521}\) = \(\sqrt{39\,\times\,39}\) = 39 

∴ No. of trees for each row = 39 

No. of rows in the garden = 39

The product of two numbers is 1296. If one number is 16 times the other, find the two numbers?

Answer»

Given that the product of two numbers = 1296. 

Let the second number = x say

Then first number = 16 × x = 16x 

∴ The product of two numbers 

= x × 16x= 16x2

According to the sum 

16x2 = 1296

⇒ x2\(\frac{1296}{16}\) = 81

 ⇒ x2 = 81 

⇒ x = \(\sqrt{81}\)\(\sqrt{9\,\times\,9}\) =  9 

⇒ x = 9 

∴ The first number = 16x 

= 16 × 9 =144 

The second number 

= x = 9
