• A. 9, 50
• B. 10, 50
• C. 9, 5
• D. 900, 50

Answer 1

The correct option is A

9, 50

1000 paise - 50 paise = 950 paise
But 100 paise = 1 rupee
Hence 50 paise = $\frac{50}{100}=\frac{1}{2}=0.5rupee$
So, 950 paise = 950/100 = 9.5 rupee
[Dividing by 100 can be done by shifting the decimal point for 2 places leftwards]
9.5 = 9 + 0.5 = 9 rupees 50 paise
