Solution

The correct option is A 5
Two ₹ 50 banknotes sum up to ₹ 100. But, it is given that she was given ₹ 10 banknote(s) as well.

So, the number of ₹ 50 banknotes she was given is one.

Remaining amount to be given is ₹ 50, which is contributed by ₹ 10 banknotes.
So, the number of ₹ 10 banknotes is 50 ÷ 10 = 5.
