Anitha had 80 currency notes in all, some of which are of Rs 95 denomination and the remaining of Rs 45 denomination. The total amount of all these currency notes was Rs. 4000. How much amount (in Rs) did she have in the denomination of Rs 45?
Options:
(A) 3500
(B) 72
(C) 2000
(D) 3000
(E) 4000 OK. Let's think. Some random thoughts first:
Let the number of 45-rupee notes = x
Then, the number of 95-rupee notes = (80 x)
45x + 95(80 x) = 4000 or x + 2(80 x) = 95 or x = 72. The answer: (B).
