Type of Pair of Shoes
Price List
Casual Shoes
Rs.1,300
Formal Shoes
Rs. 1,800
Sports Shoes
Rs. 1,400​

Answer 1

A Rs. 500 note, and four Rs. 100 notes.

Explanation:

The cost of the two shoes = Rs.1,300 + Rs. 1,800

= Rs. 3,100

He gave 4 notes of Rs. 1,000 = 4 x Rs. 1,000

= Rs. 4,000

Manoj's expected change = Rs. 4,000 - Rs. 3,100

= Rs. 900

Since he was returned 5 notes in the denominations of Rs. 500 and Rs. 100, then;

Rs. 500 + Rs. 100 + Rs. 100 + Rs. 100 + Rs. 100 = Rs. 900

Therefore, Manaoj was returned a Rs. 500 note, and four Rs. 100 notes.
