Lakshmi is a cashier in a bank. She has currency notes of denominations ₹100, ₹50 and ₹10, respectively. The ratio of the number of these notes is 2:3:5. The total cash with Lakshmi is ₹4,00,000. How many notes of each denomination does she have?
Number of notes of each denomination
Given :
- Denominations Lakshmi has = ₹100, ₹50 and ₹10
- Ratio of the denominations respectively = 2:3:5
- Total amount = ₹4,00,000
As the ratio of ₹100, ₹50 and ₹10 is 2:3:5 respectively,
Then let the number of ₹100, ₹50 and ₹10 notes be 2x , 3x and 5x respectively.
Now, according to the question :
➼ 2x × 100 + 3x × 50 + 5x × 10 = 400000
➼ 200x + 150x + 50x = 400000
➼ 400x = 400000
➼ x = 4,00,000÷400 = 1000
Since x = ₹1000
Therefore number of notes for each denomination :
For ₹100 = 2x = 2 × 1000 = ₹2000
For ₹50 = 3x = 3 × 1000 = ₹3000
For ₹10 = 5x = 5 × 1000 = ₹ 5000
