total amount =₹80000
no. of total people=200
let number of prize of ₹500 be x
and number of prize of ₹100 be y
A.T.Q.
x+y=200.........(i)
and
500x+100y=80000
or x+y=800......(ii)
on subtracting eq.i from eq. ii
4x=600
or x=150
putting the value of x in eq. i
150+y=200
or y=200-150
or y=50
Number of prizes of ₹500 and ₹100 are 150 and 50 respectively
