Question

A total of ₹10,000 is distributed among 150 people as gifts. The gift can be worth ₹ 50 or ₹100, the total number of gifts worth ₹ 50 is 50.

• A. 100
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B

False

Total number of gifts = 150

Let the number of gifts worth ₹ 50 each be x

Then the number of gifts worth ₹100 each is (150 - x)

Amount spent on x gifts of ₹50 each = ₹ 50x

Amount spent on (150 - x) gifts of ₹100 each = ₹100(150 - x)

50x + 100 (150 - x) = 10000

50x + 15000 - 100x = 10000

50x = 15000 - 10000 = 5000

x = 100

The total number of gifts worth ₹ 50 each is 100. Hence the given statement is False.
