Answer 1

$$\begin{gathered} \mathrm{Total}\mathrm{money}\mathrm{collected}\mathrm{by}\mathrm{selling}\mathrm{the}\mathrm{tickets}=\mathrm{Rs}.6496 \\ \mathrm{Price}\mathrm{of}1\mathrm{ticket}=\mathrm{Rs}50\frac{3}{4}=\mathrm{Rs}\frac{203}{4} \\ \mathrm{Now}, \\ \mathrm{number}\mathrm{of}\mathrm{tickets}\mathrm{sold}=6496÷\frac{203}{4}=6496\times \frac{4}{203}=128 \end{gathered}$$
