A
12
💡 Explanation:
Let there be 'a' bottles in each row.
number of rows=a
so number of bottles are = a2
It is given that after arranging bottles in the form of square,16 were left over
Total number of bottles = a2 + 16But total number of bottles are 160
then a2 +16 =160
a2 = 160 - 16
a2 = 144
a = 12
There were 12 bottles in each row.
