B. 45
C. 55
D. 50
Answer: Option D
Solution(By Examveda Team)
Let the total member be x.x member contribute is Rs. x and each member also contributes x paise.
So total rupees is
x member Rs. x = Rs. x2
x member Rs. x paise $$ = \frac{{x.x}}{{100}}$$
Total rupees is
$$\eqalign{ & {x^2} + \frac{{{x^2}}}{{100}} = 2525 \cr & 101{x^2} = 2525 \times 100 \cr & 101{x^2} = 101 \times 25 \times 100 \cr & \boxed{x = 50} \cr} $$
