Pawan is a cashier in a bank. He has currency notes of denominations 1000, 500 and 100 respectively. The ratio of the number of these notes is 2:3:5. If the total cash with Pawan is Rs. 5,00,000, then how many notes of Rs. 1000 denomination does he have?
250
Given that the denomination notes of 1000, 500, 100 are in the ratio 2:3:5,
Number of 1000 denomination notes Pawan has = 2x
Number of 500 denomination notes Pawan has = 3x
Number of 100 denomination notes Pawan has = 5x
For 1000 notes, amount of money = Rs. 2000x
For 500 notes, amount of money = 3x×500 = Rs. 1500x
For 100 notes, amount of money = 5x×100 = Rs. 500x
Total Sum = 2000x+1500x+500x=Rs.5,00,000 (Given)
4000x=5,00,000
x=125
Number of 1000 denomination notes = 2×125=250 notes
