$\textbf {Hey there, here is the solution.}$

.............................................................................................

Let the number of students in the class be x.

⇒ Number of students = y

.

Each student contributed as many rupees as the number of students

⇒ Amount each student contributed = y

.

Express the total amount contributed by class:

⇒ total amount = y x y = y²

.

Form the equation and solve for y:

Total amount contributed by the class = y²

Total amount contributed by the class = ₹2304

y² = ₹2304

y = √2304

y = 48

.

Answer: There are 48 students in the class.
