In is incorrect, because in used for the deep things and at used for the ground so at is the correct answer.

"we live in Bihar at our home town Patna ", so basically 'in' is used for a larger area and 'at' is used for a smaller area.

"I could not put up at a hotel because the boarding and lodging charges were exorbitant" means "I could not stay at hotel as the charges are so high". This is the right answer.

In hotel means already staying in hotel. And at hotel means it can be inside of the hotel or outside of the hotel.

Generally we use, In, for inside a three dimensional structure like, in the plane, in the room, in the car but we use, At, for the exact location like, at the school, at the road, at the mall, at the restaurant, etc.
