In the orange garden of Mr. Madhusudan there are 150 orange trees. The number of trees in each row is 5 more than that in each column. Find the number of trees in each row and each column with the help of following flow chart.

Flow chart: No. of trees in a column is \(x\) → No. of trees in row = ... → Total no. of trees = ... → Frame quadratic equation → Find \(x\) → No. of trees in column → No. of trees in a row.

Answer: 10 trees in each column and 15 trees in each row

No. of trees in a column \(= x\); no. of trees in a row \(= x + 5\).

Total no. of trees \(= x(x + 5) = 150\).

\[x^2 + 5x - 150 = 0\]\[(x + 15)(x - 10) = 0\]

\(x = 10\) (number of trees cannot be negative). So 10 trees in a column and \(10 + 5 = 15\) trees in a row; \(10 \times 15 = 150\).
