Correct Answer: 112
Solution :
Given: A number of boys raised Rs. 12544 for a famine fund.
Amount raised by each boy = the total number of boys
Let the number of boys be $x$.
So, the amount raised by each boy = Rs. $x$
As per given condition,
$x^{2}=12544$
⇒ $x=\sqrt{12544}$
⇒ $x=112$
Hence, the correct answer is 112.
