Answer 1

Given : In  competition winner will get a prize of 200 an  participant who does not win will get a  prize of 50. The total prize money  distributed is 12,000.

To find :  the numbe r of winners, if the total number of  participants is 120.​

Solution:

Total Participants = 120

Let say Winners = W

then non winners  = 120 - W

winner gets = Rs 200

W  winners gets = 200W  Rs

non-winner gets  = Rs 50

=> 120-W  non winners gets  = 50 ( 120 - W)  = Rs 6000 - 50W

Total Money = 200W + 6000 - 50W

= 6000 + 150 W   Rs

6000 + 150W  = 12000

=> 150W = 6000

=> W =  40

Numbers of winners = 40
