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? Correct Answer 60

Let the number of notes of each denomination be ‘x’.

Total number of notes with Rahul = x + x + x = 3x

Therefore, total amount with Rahul = 2x + 5x + 10x = 17x

Thus, we have 17x = 340 and x = 20

Therefore, total number of notes is 20 × 3 = 60

Hence, 60 is the correct answer.
