Solution
Since 71 students were left out, there are only 5929 (6000 \[-\]71) students remaining.
Hence, the number of rows or columns is simply the square root of 5929.
Factorising 5929 into its prime factors:
5929 = 7\[\times\]7\[\times\]11\[\times\]11
Grouping them into pairs of equal factors:
5929 = (7 x 7) x (11 x 11)
The square root of 5929
=`sqrt(5929)=7xx11=77`
Hence, in the arrangement, there were 77 rows of students.
