Q)

A man had 170 currency notes in all, some of which were of ₹ 100 denominations and some of ₹ 50 denominations. The total amount of all these currency notes was ₹ 10000. How much amount did he have in the denominations of ₹ 50?


  • Explanation

    Let the number of Rs.50 notes = x

    Then, the number of Rs.1500 notes = (170-x)

    = 50x+100(170-x)=10000

    Divide by 50 the above equation, we will get

    = x+2(170-x)=200

    = x+340-2x= 200

    = -x = 200-340= -140

    = x= 140

    ∴ Required amount = 50×140

         = Rs 7000.

    Hence, Option E is correct.
