Let x be in the front row. So no. of children in next rows will be x-3,x-6,x-9,x-12,x-15,x-18,x-21.... Suppose there are 6 rows, then the sum is equal to x + x-3 + x-6 + x-9 + x-12 + x-15 = 6x - 45 This sum is equal to 630. => 6x - 45 = 630 => 6x = 585 Here, x is not an integer. Hence, there cannot be 6 rows.
