Here, It is given that the side of the square is of 31.
And each side has 32 nails.
For 32 nails to fit on 31 unit space ,the distance between each nail should be 1 unit.

so, If we apply the above concept.
The two opposite sides of square will contain 32 nails and rest two sides will contain 30 nails.

so, Total number of nails=32+32+30+30=124 nails.
