There are 50 flowers in a basket. A man goes to pray and offers, at each temple, a number of flowers equal to the number of temples in the city. He needs 8 full baskets of flowers. Find the number of temples in the city.
A
15
B
20
C
25
D
30
Correct Option:
B
Explanation
Eight full baskets containing 50 flowers each give 8 × 50 = 400 flowers. If there are n temples and he offers n flowers at each temple, the total required is n². Therefore n² = 400, so n = 20.
