Correct answer and explanation

Correct answer: 12

Explanation: ✅ Correct Answer: B) 12 📚 Explanation: Let the number of 200 rupee notes be 'x'. Then 100 rupee notes are '48 - x'. The equation is 200x + 100(48 - x) = 6000. Simplifying this gives 100x + 4800 = 6000, so 100x = 1200. This means 'x' equals 12. Therefore, the bank paid him twelve notes of 200 rupees each.
