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  ₹5,00,000, then how many notes of  ₹1000 denomination does he have?


Options:
A .   250
B .   375
C .   625
D .   125
Answer: Option A
:
A
Given that the denomination notes of 1000, 500, 100 are in the ratio 2:3:5.

Number of 1000 denomination notes with Pawan = 2x
Therefore, amount =  2000x


Number of 500 denomination notes with Pawan  = 3x
Therefore, amount =  1500x


Number of 100 denomination notes with Pawan = 5x
Therefore, amount =  500x


Total amount =  5,00,000 (Given)
2000x+1500x+500x=5,00,000 


                           4000x=5,00,000


                            x=5,00,0004,000=125


Therefore, number of 1000 denomination notes = 2x=2×125
= 250 notes.
