Solution
Let the number of ₹ 50 notes = x
The number of 100 rupees notes = y
According to the condition,
Total number of notes 25
x + y = 25 ...(1)
50x + 100y = 2000
x + 2y = 40 ...(2)
Subtracting equation (1) from (2), we get
x + 2y - x - y
y = 40 - 25
y = 15
Putting y = 15 in (1),
x + 15 = 25
x = 25 - 15
x = 10
Thus, x = 10 and y = 15
∴ Number of 50 rupees notes = 10 and number of 100 rupees notes = 15

The sum of the two-digit number and the number obtained by interchanging the digits is 132. The digit in the ten’s place is 2 more than the digit in the unit’s place. Complete the activity to find the original number.
Activity: Let the digit in the unit’s place be y and the digit in the ten’s place be x.
∴ The number = 10x + y
∴ The number obtained by interchanging the digits = `square`
∴ The sum of the number and the number obtained by interchanging the digits = 132
∴ 10x + y + 10y + x = `square`
∴ x + y = `square` .....(i)
By second condition,
Digit in the ten’s place = digit in the unit’s place + 2
