Question

A gardener organizes plants into rows to create a square formation but discovers that 15 plants are not included. If the total number of plants is 3984, then what is the number of plants in each row?

This question was previously asked in
SSC CGL 2025 Tier 2 Paper 1 Question Paper (19-Jan-2026)
The correct answer is

63

Step 1 – Set up the equation:

Plants in square formation = Total plants − leftover = 3984 − 15 = 3969

Step 2 – Find the square root:

\(n^2 = 3969\)\(n = \sqrt{3969} = 63\)

Verification: 63² = 3969, and 3969 + 15 = 3984 ✓

Hence, each row has 63 plants.
