Answer:
(1) Let x be the number of winners.
Then the number of participants who do not win is given as (63 - x)
The prize money given to x winners = Rs
(100x)
The prize money given to (63 - x) participants is = Rs 25(63 - x)
According to the given data, the total prize money distributed = Rs 3000
Therefore, 100x + 25(63 − x) = 3000
4x + (63x) = 120
3x + 63 = 120
x = 19x = 19
Therefore, the number of winners is 19.p explanation:

Answer:
Let number of winners be x
So number of losers be 100 - x
According to statement
5000x + 750×(100 - x) = 1,60,000
5000x + 75000 - 750x = 1, 60, 000
4250x = 1, 60, 000 - 75000
4250x = 85000
x = 20
So number of winners = 20 and number of losers = 80.
Let number of boys be y
so number of girls = 3y
y + 3y = 20
4y = 20
y = 5
