- 10,20,20=3!/2!==3 ways
10,10,10,20=4!/3!==4 ways
10,10,10,10,10=5!/5!==1 way
so.total=3+4+1==8 ways. - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(40) No(4)

- let a = 10/- Rs , b = 20/- Rs.
10a + 20b = 50..............
now check the a and b's possibility to satisfy the above condition
a = 1 , b = 2
a = 3, b = 1
a = 5, b = 0
so number of combination a and b is = 3
so total ways = 2^3 = 8 (number of arrangement) - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(4) No(0)

- all 10 rupees note in 1 way =1
3 ten rs notes+1 twenty rs notes=4 and 4!/3!=4 (where 3! denotes that 3 10 rupees notes are common)
2 twenty rs+1 ten rupees notes=3 and 3!/2!=3 (where 2! denotes that 2 20 rupees notes are common)
therfore 1+3+4=8 ways - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(0)
- The possibility of '10 10 10 10 10' can't be occur because it is given that atleast one day a note of different denomination should be given.
so the total no.of ways can be 7.
10,20,20=3!/2! =>3
10,10,10,20=4!/3! =>4
so total no.of ways are 1+3=>7 ways - 8 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(0)
- the total ways is 8 as explained by the above people.but they have mentioned that atleast one day a different note should be given.hence we cant take 10 10 10 10 10.deducting this one way out of 8 .we get 7 ways.i hope this is the right answer
