Answer / guest

The Club originally had 24 members.

Assume that there were initially N members.

As 4 members resigned and remaining members paid Rs 26 each,
it means that total amount of 4 members is equal to Rs 26
each from remaining (N-4) members. Thus,

4 * (3120 / N) = 26 * (N - 4)

12480 = 26N2 - 104N

26N2 - 104N - 12480 = 0

Solving the quadratic equation we get N=24.

Hence, the Club originally had 24 members.

Answer / windflower

let the number of club members be N
Then each member will have to pay 3120/N
4 members resigned and therefore each member should pay an extra of rs.26
thus (3120/N +26)(N-4)=3120
if you simplify further, you will get N=24
