since the ratio of number of notes is 2:3:4 we can assume like this, number of 100 notes=2k number of 50 notes=3k number of 10 notes= 5k where k is an integer constant. total cash=2k*100+3k*50+5k*10=400000 200k + 150k + 50k= 400000 400k=400000 k=400000/400=1000 number of 100 notes=2k=2*1000=2000 number...

since the ratio of number of notes is 2:3:4

we can assume like this,

number of 100 notes=2k

number of 50 notes=3k

number of 10 notes= 5k

where k is an integer constant.

total cash=2k*100+3k*50+5k*10=400000

200k + 150k + 50k= 400000

400k=400000

k=400000/400=1000

number of 100 notes=2k=2*1000=2000

number of 50 notes=3k=3*1000=3000

number of 10 notes=5k=5*1000=5000

Let the common ratio between the numbers of notes of different denominations be x. Therefore, numbers of Rs 100 notes, Rs 50 notes, and Rs 10 notes will be2x, 3x, and 5x respectively. Amount of Rs 100 notes = Rs (100 × 2x) = Rs 200x Amount of Rs 50 notes = Rs (50 × 3x)= Rs 150x Amount of...

Let the common ratio between the numbers of notes of different denominations be x. Therefore, numbers of Rs 100 notes, Rs 50 notes, and Rs 10 notes will be2x, 3x, and 5x respectively.

Amount of Rs 100 notes = Rs (100 × 2x) = Rs 200x

Amount of Rs 50 notes = Rs (50 × 3x)= Rs 150x

Amount of Rs 10 notes = Rs (10 × 5x) = Rs 50x

It is given that total amount is Rs 400000.

∴ 200x + 150x + 50x = 400000

⇒ 400x = 400000

On dividing both sides by 400, we obtain

x = 1000

Number of Rs 100 notes = 2x = 2 × 1000 = 2000

Number of Rs 50 notes = 3x = 3 × 1000 = 3000

Number of Rs 10 notes = 5x = 5 × 1000 = 5000
