Question

4. A man received a cheque. The rupees had been transposed for paise and vice- versa. After spending
42 paise, he discovered that he now had exactly six times the value of the correct cheque
amount should he have received
​

Answer 1

Answer:

₹6.44 paise,

Step-by-step explanation:

1 rupee =100 paise

amount spend =(500+42)p =542 paise

let us assume that he recives =₹ x and y paise

➡ Recive =(100x + y) paise

correct =(100y + x)

(100x + y) - 542 =6(100 y + x)

100x + y - 542 =600y + 6x

100x - 6x = 600y - y + 542

94x = 599y + 542

x = 599y + 542 / 94

599y + 542 must be a multiple of 94

y=6 (Hit and trial method)

x=44

correct amount = ₹6.44 paise

= ₹ 6.44
