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.

Divide the notes 30*10 = 300.
30*5 = 150.
30*1 = 30.

Add = 300+150+30 = 480.

No of notes = 90.

I think it's may be wrong @Jayakrishna. How can you get x=90?

Can you please explain it?

Please tell me is this solution is correct?

((1*x+2*x+3*x)/3) = 480.

So x = 90.

When No.of rupees are different denomination so how we can take 3x for total No.of rupees.
