An angry Arjun carried some arrows for fighting with Bheeshm. With half the arrows, he cut down the arrows thrown by Bheeshm on him and with six other arrows he killed the Chariot driver of Bheeshm. With one arrow each he knocked down respectively the Chariot, the flag and the bow of Bheeshm. Finally, with one more than four times the square root of arrows he laid Bheeshm unconscious on an arrow bed. Find the total number of arrows Arjun had.

• answer 100
  
  x/2 + 6+3+1+4 sqrt(x) = x
  
  x/2 +10 + 4 sqrt(x) = x
  
  4sqrt(x) = x/2 - 10
  
  squaring on both sides
  
  16x = x²/4 +100 -10x
  
  simplifying x² -104x +400=0
  
  x =100, 4
  
  x=4 is not possible therefore x=100
