Question 138

In a basket, there are 125 flowers. A man goes to worship and offers as many flowers at each temple as there are temples in the city. Thus he needs 5 baskets of flowers. Find the number of temples in the city.

Solution

Let the number of temples in the city be $$x$$

Also, he offers $$x$$ flowers in each temple

Total number of flowers he offered = $$x^2 = 5 \times 125$$

=> $$x = \sqrt{625} = 25$$
