Why should we donate money for the education of poor children? What values are being promoted?
Solution:
Amount collected by students = ₹ 9216
and each donated amount equal to the number of students
Number of students = \(\sqrt{9216}\) = ₹ 96

Question 2.
A person wants to plant 2704 medicinal plants with a board depicting the diseases in which that can be used. He planted these in the form of rows. If each row contains as many plants as the number of rows, then find the number of rows.
Why should we plant medicinal plants? What values are being promoted?
Solution:
Total number of plants = 2704
These are planted in such a way that
Number of rows = number of plants in each row
∴ Number of rows = \(\sqrt{2704}\)

Question 1.
A square field is to be ploughed. Ramu get it ploughed in ₹34560 at the rate of ₹15 per sq. m. Find the length of side of square field.
Solution:
Total expenditure for ploughing the field = ₹34560
The rate of ploughing = ₹15 per sq. m
∴ Total area of the square field = \(\frac{34560}{15}\)
= 2304 m2
Side of the square field = \(\sqrt{2304}\) m
= 48 m
