  1. Angry Arjun carried some arrows for fighting with Bheshhm. With half the arrows, he cut down the arrows thrown by Bheeshm on him and with six other arrows he killed the rath driver of Bheeshm. with one arrows each he Knocked down respectively the rath, flag and the bow of Bheeshm. Finally, with one more than four times the square root of arrow he laid Bheeshm unconscious on an arrow bed. What is the total number of arrows Arjun had ?
    1. 90
    2. 101
    3. 100
    4. 104
Correct Option: C

Let Arjun had x arrows.
∴ x/2 + 6 + 3 + 4√x + 1 = x
⇒ x = 20 + 8√x
⇒ x - 20 =8√x
On squaring both sides and by solving the formed quadratics equation, we get x = 100
