Given:

Total number of notes of Rs. 20 and Rs. 50 = 324

Total Sum = Rs. 12450

Concept used:

Value of note × Number of total notes = Total amount

Calculation:

Let the number of Rs. 20 notes be x.

No. of Rs. 50 notes = 324 – x

⇒ 20 × x + 50 × (324 – x) = 12450 

⇒ 20x + 16200 – 50x = 12450

⇒ -30x = 12450 – 16200

⇒ 30x = 3750

⇒ x = 125

∴ The number of Rs. 20 notes is 125.
