    A certain number of men went to a hotel. Each man spent as many rupees as one-fourth of the men. If the total bill paid was Rs.20449, then how many men visited the hotel?

    A)  286                            

    B)         284                

    C)         281                            

    D)         283                

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Let number of men visited hotel be x. \[\therefore \] Each man spent \[\text{=Rs}\text{.}\left( \frac{x}{4} \right)\] According to question, \[x\left( \frac{x}{4} \right)=20449\Rightarrow {{x}^{2}}=20449\times 4\] \[\Rightarrow {{x}^{2}}81796\Rightarrow x=286\] \[\therefore \]Number of men visited hotel = 286
