Solution
Let S be the number of students.
Let r be the amount in rupees donated by each student.
The total donation can be expressed by:
S\[\times\]r = Rs. 2401
Since the total amount in rupees is equal to the number of students, r is equal to S.
Substituting this in the first equation:
S\[\times\]S = 2401
S2 = (7\[\times\]7)\[\times\](7\[\times\]7)
S = 7\[\times\]7 = 49
So, there are 49 students in the class.
