I could not put up in a hotel is correct, but in this sentence look like that already knows of hotel and boarding charges so "I could not put up at a hotel" for exact.

"could not put up in a hotel" Now no one stays in full hotel one stays in single room so
"I could not put up in a room" is correct however "could not put up at hotel" specifying a perticular hotel which is having high boarding and lodging rate.
"I could not put up in a room" is correct however "could not put up at hotel" specifying a perticular hotel which is having high boarding and lodging rate.

I think all of you does not know english rule, option c is incorrect because boardin and lodging are singular noun hence we use 'was ' there.

@gopal: its for charges we are using "were" not for boarding and lodging.

Can somebody tell me the difference between 'in' and 'at'
Vertika said:

'in' is used where we refer to some particular place. 'at' is used where we refer to something big. Like for eg. He lives "in Gomti Nagar" "at Lucknow".

Why not ans B? why not "because of the boarding and lodging charges"?

We use "at" whn we r far from tht place and "in" is used whn we r inside tht place.
Eg.-I was supposed to meet her at the corner, but I found her in the drugstore.
