Detailed Solution

Let x and y be the number of 50 and 100 notes respectively.
Then, x+y=25.........(1)
And 50x+100y=2000.........(2)
Now multiplying (1) from 100 and subtracting from (2) will get,
100(x+y)-(50x-100y)=100×25-2000
100x+100y-50x-100y=2500-2000
50x=500
x=10
Now putting x=10 in (1),
10+y=25
y=25-10
y=15
Hence, Meena received 10 notes of Rs. 50 and 15 notes of Rs. 100.
Therefore, option (4) is correct.
