What denominations of bills can they have? Write in increasing order.​

Answer 1

Hey,

Thanks for asking this question.

Lets suppose,

Total number of 100 rupees notes = 2N

So total number of 50 rupees notes = 3N

And total number of 10 rupees notes = 5N

So according to the question,

2N + 3N + 5N = 50

=> 10N = 50

=> N = 5

So value of 100 rupees notes = 10×100 = 1000

Value of 50 rupees notes = 15×50 = 750

Value of 10 rupees notes = 25×10 = 250

So total value = 1000+750+250

= 2000 rupees.

So the answer is that Arpit has total 2000 rupees.

Hope my answer helped.
