A group of students decided to collect as many rupees from each member of the group as the number of members. If the total collection amounts to F 2209, the number of members in the group is:
1. 37
2. 47
3. 43
4. 107

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 2 : 47

Suppose there are 'X' number of members in the group.

Now, It is given that each member collects rupees equal to the number of members of the group.

This means Each member collects 'X' rupees.

The total amount collected is 2209 rupees.

Therefore,

⇒ Number of members of the group × Amount collected by each member = 2209

⇒ X × X = 2209

⇒ X² = 2209

⇒ X = 47

Therefore, the number of members in the group is 47.

Hence, the correct answer is 47.
