Soltuion :

1] Least length of a side of square=180 cm

2] Number of rows = 4

and

Number of columns = 3

As we know to make a square frame, We have to use 60 × 40 desks in a such a manner that both the dimensions becomes equal .

To Find : We must use The LCM Method

1] Least Length of a side of the square ABCD  is as follows

ABCD=LCM (60,45)

         = 180 cm.

2] Number of rows of the desk used to form square ABCD is as follows :-

     = 180/45

     = 4

Thus,The number of columns of decks used to form square

ABCD= 180/60

         = 3
