Rahul has Rs. 340 in the denominations of Rs. 2 notes, Rs. 5 notes and Rs. 10 notes. The number of notes of each denomination is equal. What is the total number of notes that Rahul has?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
Let the number of notes of each denomination be x.
According to the question:
(2 × x) + (5 × x) + (10 × x) = 340
17x = 340
x = 340 / 17
x = 20
Therefore, the total number of notes = 3x = 3 × 20 = 60.
