Solution

The correct option is B 79
Total number of students = 6250
Number of students forming a square
= 6250 - 9 = 6241

Thus, 6241 students form a big square which has number of rows equal to the number of students in each row.

Let the number of students in each row be x, then the number of rows =x
Therefore, x×x=6241
x2=6241
x=6241=79

Hence, there are 79 students in each row of the square formed.
