Question

The students of class VIII of a school donated Rs 2401 for PM’s National Relief Fund. Each student donated as many rupees as the number of students in the class, Find the number of students in the class.

Answer 1

Let a be the number of students 

Therefore, 

Each student denoted a rupee 

So, 

Total amount collected = a × a rupees 

= 2401

a² = 2401

a = 49

Therefore, 

There are 49 students in the class
