Question

Neha purchased 2361 rose plants for her garden. How many more rose plants should Neha buy from the Nursery so that the number of rows is equal to the number of rose plants in each row?

Answer 1

Hint: Here we have the \[2361\] plants but this is not a perfect square number. So, we have to find its nearest square root which is \[48\], which has square number \[2304\]. So, the next perfect square is \[49\] whose square is \[2401\]. Hence, we find the difference between \[2361\] and \[2401\].

Complete step-by-step solution:
The square root of \[2361\] is near to the number \[48\].
The next perfect square will be \[49 \times 49\], now we will find the number that will give a perfect square.
The number is equal to \[49 \times 49\]=\[2401\]
Now, we will calculate the number of roses that Neha needs to buy.
Neha need to buy \[2401\]-\[2361\]=\[14\]
Hence, the conclusion is Neha needs to buy another \[40\] rose plants.
Additional information: The above question is very easy to understand and by using the basic mathematical fundamentals one can easily solve these types of questions and can go for higher level of questions after solving these. The solution given is explained in a very easy manner and one should try to solve these questions by this method only.

Note: In the given question we have used the square root method to find the square root and after that we have calculated the perfect square, by using this method one can easily calculate the number of rose plants that Neha needs to buy.
