Solution

The correct option is B

361


Initially since number of rows is equal to number of columns, it is forming a square.

Let the number of rows be a and Let the number of columns be a

Total number of chainrs =a2

a2=324

a=324

a=2×2×3×3×3×3

a=22×34

a=2×32=18

So, there are 18 rows and 18 columns of chairs.

Now, if we add 1 row and 1 column, the number of rows and columns become 19.

Now the total number of chainrs will be =19×19=192=361
