A gardener has 1000 plants: He wants to plant them in such a way that the number of rows and the number of columns remains the same. What is the minimum number of plants that he needs more for this purpose?

Explanation:

If the number of rows and number of columns are to be equal, then the total number of trees should be a perfect square. As 1000 is not a perfect square, find a perfect square nearest to 1000. Its 1024, which is square of 32. So he needs to add 24 more trees to get 1024.
