A school collected ₹2,601 as fees from its students. If the fees paid by each student and the number of students in the school were equal, then how many students were there in the school?

Correct option is C

Given:

Total fees collected = ₹2,601

Fees paid by each student = Number of students = x

Concept Used:

If each student pays ₹x and there are x students, then total fees = $$x \times x = x^2$$​​

​Solution:

​$$x^2 =$$​Total Fees Collected

​$$x^2$$​= 2601

x $$= \sqrt{2601} =$$​51 students
