Detailed Solution

Let the total number of arrows of Arjun be s
Number of arrows used by Bheeshm =s/2
The number of arrows used to kill Bheeshm's rath driver=6
Number of arrows used to knock down the rath, flag and the bow of Bheeshm =3
Number of arrows left

= s - (\frac{s}{2} + 6 + 3)

= \frac{s}{2} - 9

Remaining arrows were used to kill Bheeshm.
So, Number of arrows used to kill Bheeshm

= \frac{s}{2} - 9

Number of arrows used to kill Bheeshm

= 1 + 4 \sqrt{s}

According to question,

1 + 4 \sqrt{s} = \frac{s}{2} - 9

4 \sqrt{s} = \frac{s}{2} - 10

16 s = \frac{s^{2}}{4} + 100 - 10 s

s^{2} - 104 s + 400 = 0

(s - 100) (s - 4) = 0)

∴ s=100 or s=4
Arjun used 6 arrows to kill rath driver of Bheeshm
s =4 cannot be answer So, total number of arrows =100
Correct option is 1.
