A Sum of Rs. 4,250 is to be used to give 10cash prizes to students of a school for their overall academic

performances. If each prize is Rs. 50 less than its preceding prize, find the value of each of the prizes. What

values are shown by the school in giving these prizes?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let the cash prize of the first ranked student is x.

so the second-ranked student gets a cash prize of (x-50) and so on.

and the 10th student gets a cash prize of (x-450).

total of all this is equal to the Rs4250.

when we solve it then we get X = Rs650.

so the first ranked student get Rs 650

second-ranked student get Rs 600

The third-ranked student gets Rs 550 and so on.
