Question

8000 is distributed among A B C such that they receive notes of 500 200 and 100 respectively. The amounts received by them are in the ratio 15:2:3. What was the ratio of the number of notes of 500, 200 and 100. ​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us say we have given prizes of Rs 500 to N persons and Rs 100 prizes to (200-N) persons. The total amount is,

Rs 80,000 = Rs 500 N + (200-N) Rs 100 800 = 5 N + 200 - N = 4 N + 200

4 N = 600 N = 150

So the prizes of Rs 500 are given to 150 persons and the prizes of Rs 100 are given to 50 persons.
