2. Meera has three Rs. 10 notes and five Rs. 2 coins. Jai has two Rs. 20 notes and two Rs. 5 coins. How much money do they have together?
Meera's money:
- 3 × Rs. 10 = Rs. 30
- 5 × Rs. 2 = Rs. 10
- Total for Meera = Rs. 30 + Rs. 10 =
Rs. 40
Jai's money:
- 2 × Rs. 20 = Rs. 40
- 2 × Rs. 5 = Rs. 10
- Total for Jai = Rs. 40 + Rs. 10 =
Rs. 50
Together:
- Rs. 40 (Meera) + Rs. 50 (Jai) =
Rs. 90

3. Reya has Rs. 100 and the cost of one book is Rs. 15. How many books can she buy using her money?
Step-by-step:
- Total money = Rs. 100
- Cost per book = Rs. 15
- Number of books = 100 ÷ 15 = 6.66...
But she can't buy a fraction of a book, so we take the
whole number part.
- 15 × 6 = Rs. 90 → within budget
- 15 × 7 = Rs. 105 → exceeds budget
So, she can buy
6 books.
