Solution

Number of winners124581020Prize for each winner(In Rupees)10000050000y3y4y5y6y7

Hence the constant k = xy = 1,00,000

"x" is Number of winners and "y" is prize for each winner.
Hence, x3y3 = 1,00,000
⇒ 4×y3 = 100000
⇒ y3 = 1000004 = 25000
Similarly,
y4 = 1000005 = 20000
y5 = 1000008 = 12500
y6 = 10000010 = 10000
y7 = 10000020 = 5000
