Let there be x members in the beginning..
So the duration can be divided in 3 parts..
(I) First 6 months -- number is x, so money per month = x*x, and for 6 months = \(6*x^2\)
(II) Next 3 months -- number reduces to \(\frac{3x}{4}\), so money per month = \((\frac{3x}{4})^2\), and for 3 months = \(3*(\frac{3x}{4})^2=\frac{27x^2}{16}\)
(III) Last 3 months -- number reduces to \(\frac{3x}{4}*\frac{2}{3}=\frac{x}{2}\), so money per month = \((\frac{x}{2})^2\), and for 3 months = \(3*(\frac{x}{2})^2=\frac{3x^2}{4}\)
Total = \(6x^2+\frac{27x^2}{16}+\frac{3x^2}{4}=4860........\frac{135x^2}{16}=4860........x^2=4860*\frac{16}{135}=36*16.....x=6*4=24\)

You can also make use of choices..
A. 12...
First 6 months = \(6*12*12\).... next 3 months=\(3*(12*\frac{3}{4})^2=3*9*9\)...last 3 months = \(3*(9*\frac{2}{3})^2=3*6*6\)..
Total = \(864+243+108=1215\neq{4860}\)
B. 24...
First 6 months = \(6*24*24\).... next 3 months=\(3*(24*\frac{3}{4})^2=3*18*18\)...last 3 months = \(3*(18*\frac{2}{3})^2=3*12*12\)..
Total = \(4860\)..
Also a quick look at choice A .. A is 12 and B is 2 times and we are dealing with x^2 only and in each term, so our answer here will be (2x)^2= 4* value for x = 4*1215=4860
No need to go furhter
