Solution

The correct option is B

39


Number of rows = Number columns. This means that the arrangement is a perfect square. The perfect square nearest to 1000 and less than that is 961. This can be estimated by roughly analyzing the square root of 1000 which will be 1010. Hence 39 students will be left out of this arrangement.
