Detailed Solution

Let 100 Rs note be x and 50 Rs note be y
Total number of notes =x+y=85................(1)
Total amount of these currency notes + 5000=100x+50y.............(2)
Multiplying equation 1 with 50
therefore we get 50x+50y=4250.......(3)
Subtracting equation 3 from equation 2, we get
50 x = 750
x = 15
Substituting x=15 in equation 1, we get y = 70
Amount in domination of 50 Rs = 70×50 = 3500
So, the correct answer is “Option 2”.
