Question

A basket contains 125 flowers. A man goes for worship and puts as many flowers in each temple as there are temples in the city. If the man needs 20 baskets of flowers, find the number of flowers that he puts in each temple.

Answer 1

If there are $a$ temples, then the man outs $a$ flowers in each temple, as per the given statement.

So, total amount of flowers put at temples $a\times a=125\times 20$
$=>a=\sqrt{125\times 20}=\sqrt{5\times 5\times 5\times 5\times 4}=\sqrt{5^4\times 2^2}=5^2\times 2=25\times 2=50$
