उत्तर
Let the number of winners be x. Therefore, the number of participants who did not win will be 63 − x
Amount given to the winners = Rs (100 × x) = Rs 100x
Amount given to the participants who did not win = Rs [25(63 − x)]
= Rs (1575 − 25x)
According to the given question,
100x + 1575 − 25x = 3000
On transposing 1575 to R.H.S, we obtain
75x = 3000 − 1575
75x = 1425
On dividing both sides by 75, we obtain
`(75x)/75 = 1425/75`
x = 19
Hence number of winners = 19
