उत्तर
Let the number of rows = x
then no. of seats in each row = x
and total number of seats = x × x = x2
According to the condition,
2x x (x - 5) = x2 + 375
⇒ 2x2 - 10x = x2 + 375
⇒ 2x2 - 10x - x2 - 375 = 0
⇒ x2 - 10x - 375 = 0
⇒ x2 - 25x + 15x - 375 = 0
⇒ x(x - 25) + 15(x - 25) = 0
⇒ (x - 25)(x + 15) = 0
Either x - 25 = 0,
then x = 25
or
x + 15 = 0,
then x = -15,
but it is not possible as it is negative.
∴ Number of rows = 25.
