A man passing throughthe meadow one dat saw Gopal grazing a number of sheep and in the course of a short conversation asked him how many of the grazing sheep were his own. Gopal's reply absolutely baffled him, which was as follows: If you divide my sheep into two different parts, the difference between yhe two numbers will be the same as the difference between their squares. Now figure it out for yourself the number of sheep I own.' Can you say just how many sheep Gopal had?
