This is the thread only for QQAd problems

Shivam you meant "was a thread for QQAD probs." right?

Can anyone upload MoCK CAT papers with detailed solution

Please buddy this is not the thread to ask such Q's. Also when you are asking a Q please be a bit detailed. What mocks? etc etc…

Anyway this thread is closed thread.

Good luck...

The currency ‘Tiso’ is available in three denominational notes: 10 Tisos, 20 Tisos and 100 Tisos. In how many ways can a bill of 290 Tisos be paid?

Okay.. the solution goes like this:

Max possible 100 tisos note that can make the sum 290 => 2 - (0,1,2)

Taking 1 by one
if 2 Tisos(100) are used then
the cobinations can be as follows:
2 * 100 + 4 * 20 + 10 = 290 .. now changing values for 20 tiso and 10 tiso we get following combinations
2 * 100 + 3 * 20 + 3 * 10 = 290
2 * 100 + 2 * 20 + 5 * 10 = 290
2 * 100 + 1 * 20 + 7 * 10 = 290
2 * 100 + 0 * 20 + 9 * 10 = 290

which in total are 5 combinations

Now if we take only 1 100 tiso note then combinations go as follows:

1 * 100 + 9 * 20 + 1 * 10 = 290
1 * 100 + 8 * 20 + 3 * 10 = 290
.
.
.
.

1 * 100 + 0 * 20 + 19 * 10 = 290

which in total are 10 combinations

Now if take zero 100 tiso notes then the combinations would be:

14 * 20 + 1* 10 = 290
13 * 20 + 3* 10 = 290
.
.
.
.
0 * 20 + 29* 10 = 290

which in total are 15 combinations

Hence total no. of combinations

5 + 10 + 15 = 30

Ans) 30
