Let x, y, and z be the number of Rs. 50, Rs. 100, and Rs. 500 notes, respectively.
According to the question,
x + y + z = 32 and 50x + 100y + 500z = 5350.
First, let's eliminate z from the second equation by substituting z = 32 - x - y
⇒ 50x + 100y + 500(32 - x - y) = 5350
Simplify the equation:
50x + 100y + 16000 - 500x - 500y = 5350
⇒ -450x - 400y = -10650 (Divide by -50)
9x + 8y = 213
Now, we can find a solution by trial method:
x = 13, y = 12 → 9(13) + 8(12) = 213 (This solution works)
So, x = 13 and y = 12. Now, we can find z:
z = 32 - x - y = 32 - 13 - 12 = 7
∴ The correct answer is x=13 (Rs. 50 notes), y=12 (Rs. 100 notes), and z=7 (Rs. 500 notes).
