(A) Let the number of ₹ $50$ notes be $x$ and the number of ₹ $100$ notes be $y$.
According to the given information:
$1$. The total number of notes is $25$,so $x + y = 25$ $...(1)$
$2$. The total value of the notes is ₹ $2000$,so $50x + 100y = 2000$ $...(2)$
To solve by the elimination method,multiply equation $(1)$ by $50$:
$50x + 50y = 1250$ $...(3)$
Subtract equation $(3)$ from equation $(2)$:
$(50x + 100y) - (50x + 50y) = 2000 - 1250$
$50y = 750$
$y = 15$
Substitute $y = 15$ into equation $(1)$:
$x + 15 = 25$
$x = 10$
Therefore,Meena received $10$ notes of ₹ $50$ and $15$ notes of ₹ $100$.
