100 paisa = 1 rupee
If all 70 passengers had 1 rupee tickets, the total would be 70 rupees.
The actual total is 56 rupees, leaving a difference of 14 rupees.
The difference between 1 rupee and 50 paisa is 50 paisa.
14 rupees / 50 paisa = 28 tickets that cost 50 paisa.
28 "50 paise" tickets = 14 rupees
That leaves 70-28=42 tickets at "1 rupee" = 42
42 rupee + 14 rupee = 56 rupee...
