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:
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Money collected = (59.29 x 100) paise = 5929 paise.
Number of members = 5929 = 77.

Please @Krishna Garu. Can give one more example please?

As the question says, that the amount in paise being collected from every member = The number of members.
Suppose if there is 1 guy then he will contribute on 1 paise.
Similarly 5 members will contribute 5 paise each. Which means the total amount collected will be 5x5 = 25.
Therefore here also 5929 = mxm.

How it would be if a remainder is a 2 digit of first division? For eg : sqrt(7921) would be 89 how?

So, in such kinds of sums, do we always have to convert 1 to paise?
Vinitha Raj said:

If question demands we have to convert it into paise.

@Vinitha & @Abhinav.
First, you have to understand the problem and convert the paise into a square root.

Why taking square root in the last step?

Using the value of 100 is an untrue assumed value. Why not use 50 or 75?
Completely disagree. No value was provided and therefore there is insufficient information to correctly solve this problem.
Anyone, please clarify how to solve this.

Kindy explain if some one find appropriate sol of why square root is taken.

No. of paise to be collected = no. of members = x.
Hence total amount = x * x = (x power 2) = 5929.
Nearest perfect square is 80*80 = 6400
Therefore ans is 77 paise.
Hence total amount = x * x = (x power 2) = 5929.
Nearest perfect square is 80*80 = 6400
Therefore ans is 77 paise.
