उत्तर
Let the original number of persons be x.
Then, by the given information,
`9000/x-160=900/(x+20)`
`(9000-160x)/x=9000/(x+20)`
(x + 20)(9000 - 160x) = 9000x
9000x - 160x2 + 180000 - 3200x = 9000x
160x2 - 180000 + 3200x = 0
x2 - 1125 + 20x = 0
x2 - 1125 + 20x + 100 = 100
(x + 10)2 = 1225
x + 10 = 35
x = 35 - 10
x = 25
Thus, the original number of persons is Rs 25.
