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?

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.

There is a flaw in this question, the question doesn't mention "each member contributes the same amount", therefore, one could contribute 2 paise, another may contribute 25 paise, another may contribute 50 paise. This will result in an alteration in the no.of the members.

@Mei144.
The question says "as many paise from each member of the group as is the number of members".that means the numbers of members and the amount donated is the same. There are 77 students and each donates 77 paise so 77*77=5929.
Hence the answer relates to the question.

Why taking square root in the last step?

Here first we know when money is collected then this was paise not rupees.
But here the amount given in Rs.59.29 Which is eqal to Rs.59.29=(59.29*100)=5929 paise.
Secondly the conditon is if there was x menmber in a group and one member gives x paise then we can said,
X^2=5929. Or x=77.
