How did those photos get on your iPad ? If you synced them from a computer then you can't delete them directly in the Photos app - you need to reconnect your iPad to your computer and change your photo sync selection to remove them.

I had the same problem. I had tried the syncing with iTunes suggestions to no avail. 361 photos that wouldn't delete. I went to iCloud settings on my iPad air and turned them off. When I did it said that 361 photos would be deleted if I did that and I chose Delete 361 photos and poof they were deleted from my Photos on my ipad. Then I turned ICloud back on. Hope this works for you.

I've had to restore my iPad to get rid of the photos that refuse to delete.
