Let,

" " " " 50 " " " (150−x)
According to question,
10 x + (150 − x) = 5100
 10x + 7500 − 50 x = 5100;  − 40x = 5100 − 7500
2400
 − 40x = − 2400;  x = − ;  x = 60

So,
The number of 10 Taka note = 60

97) 7 kgs of mango cost as much as 10 kgs of apple and 1 kg of orange. 7 kgs of orange cost as
much as 1 kg of mango and 2 kgs of apple. How many kgs of apple can be purchased by the amount
of money required to purchase 12 kgs of mango?
Here,
7 Kgs of mango = 10 Kgs of apple + 1 Kg of oranges ------- (i)
Again,

7 Kgs of orange = 1 Kg of mango +2 Kgs of apple 

1 Kg of mango = 7 Kgs of orange −2 Kgs of apple --------(ii)

Now,

Now, Equation (i) multiplying by 7 and Equation (ii) Subtract from equation (i)

49 kgs of mango = 70 kgs of apple + 7 Kgs of orange

1 Kg of mango = - 2 kgs of apple + 7 Kgs of orange

A. 1,07,000 B. 1,49,000 C. 1,93,000 D. 1,52,000 E. 1,42,000

An average of Tk. 93,000 per day, in Six days
