Question
A group of students decided to collect as many paise from each member of group as is the number of members. If the total collection amounts to Rs. 59.29, the number of the member is the group is:57677787
Solution
The problem is asking for the number of members in a group where each member contributes as many paise as there are members and the total collection is Rs. 59.29.
First, we need to convert the total collection from Rupees to Paise because the contribution is made in Paise.
1 Rupee = 100 Paise
So, Rs. 59.29 = 59.29 * 100 = 5929 Paise
The problem states that the number of members is equal to the number of paise each member contributes. Therefore, the total collection (in Paise) divided by the number of members should give us the number of members.
So, 5929 Paise / number of members = number of members
This is a quadratic equation in the form of x^2 - 5929 = 0, where x is the number of members.
Solving this equation will give us the number of members in the group.
The square root of 5929 is 77.
Therefore, the number of members in the group is 77.
