A man has Rs.480 in the denominations of one-rupee notes, five-rupee notes and ten-rupee notes. The number of notes of each denomination is equal. What is the total number of notes that he has ?
45
60
75
90
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Let number of notes of each denomination be x.

Then x + 5x + 10x = 480

16x = 480

x = 30.

Hence, total number of notes = 3x = 90.

Let no of 5 rupees note be x.
Then
The no of 10 rupees notes will be (70-x).
Therefore,
5x - 10(70-x) = 590,
x = 22.
Therefore, num of 10 rupees notes is 70 - 22 = 48.

@Amortya.

Let no.of 5 rupee note be X.
Then,
No.of 10 rupee note will be (70-X).
Therefore,

5X-10( 70- X) = 590,
X = 22.
Therefore num of 10 rupee note is 70-22 = 48.

Correct me, if I am wrong.

Hi,

Is this applicable even if it is mentioned that the denomination is in ratio and not equal?

Vibha said:   9 years ago
When ratio are different, then which formula I have to use?

Anurag said:   9 years ago
What if ratios are also given like 3:4:5 then how to solve it?
