Question

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 in the hotel ?

• A. $286$
• B. $284$
• C. $281$
• D. $283$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $286$

Let the number of men visiting hotel be $x$

Money spent by one man $=\frac{1}{4}x$

Total bill $=20449$

$x\times \frac{1}{4}x=20449$

$x^2=81796$

$x=286men$.
