Answer 2

Rs. 20 ticket sold for 25 numbers and Rs. 40 ticket sold for 10 numbers.

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two rates of tickets, one 20 Rs. and the other 40 Rs.

Let the ticket sale of Rs. 20 is x numbers and that of Rs. 40 is y numbers.

So, total number of ticket sale is  

x + y = 35 ........ (1)

And the total value of ticket sale is  

20x + 40y = 900 ........... (2)

Now, solving equations (1) and (2) we get

40y - 20y = 900 - (35 × 20) = 200

⇒ 20y = 200

⇒ y = 10

Now, from equation (1) we get, x = 35 - 10 = 25

Therefore, Rs. 20 ticket sold for 25 numbers and Rs. 40 ticket sold for 10 numbers. (Answer)
