Solution

The correct option is A

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
