Out of a group of swans, 7/2 times the square root of the total number are playing on the share of a pond. The two remaining ones are swinging in water. Find the total number of swans.

उत्तर
Let the total number of swans be x.
Then, the total number of swans are playing on the share of a pond `7/2 sqrtx.`
It is given that
`7/2 sqrtx + 2 = x`
Let x = y2, then `7/2 y+2=y^2`
`(7y+4)/2=y^2`
2y2 = 7y + 4
2y2 - 7y - 4 = 0
2y2 - 8y + y - 4 = 0
2y(y + 4) - 1(y + 4) = 0
(2y - 1)(y + 4) = 0
2y - 1 = 0
2y = 1
y = 1/2
Or
y + 4 = 0
y = -4
Because y = 1/2 is not correct.
Thus, y = -4 is correct. Putting the value of y
y = -4
`sqrtx= -4`
Square root both sides and we get
`(sqrtx)^2=(-4)^2`
x = 16
Therefore, the total number of swans is x = 16.
