Question

In an auditorium, number of rows is equal to number of chairs in each row. If the capacity of the auditorium is 40000, find the number of chairs in each row.

A.

20

B.

2000

C.

200

D.

20000

Correct option is C


Let the number of chairs in each row be x.
Since the number of rows is equal to the number of chairs in each row, the total number of chairs in the auditorium is:
Total chairs = x × x = x^2
The total capacity of the auditorium is given as 40,000, so:
x^2 = 40,000
To find x, take the square root of both sides:
x = √40,000
x = 200
Thus, the number of chairs in each row is 200.
