Download Solution PDFGiven:
Total Rs. = Rs.550
Calculation:
Let the number of denominations of 50p = 2x
the number of denominations of 25p = 3x
the number of denominations of 20p = 5x
Total paisa = 550 × 100 = 55000 paise
According to the question:
⇒ (50 × 2x) + (25 × 3x) + (20 × 5x) = 55000
⇒ 100x + 75x + 100x = 55000
⇒ 275x = 55000
⇒ x = 55000/275 = 200
Amount in (Rs.) of 50p = 100x = (100 × 200) = 20000 paise = Rs.200
Amount in (Rs.) of 20p = 100x = (100 × 200) = 20000 paise = Rs.200
Required difference = 200 - 200 = 0
∴ The correct answer is 0.
