Nandini paid for an article using currency notes of denominations Re. 1, Rs. 2, Rs. 5, and Rs. 10 using at least one note of each denomination. The total number of five and ten rupee notes used was one more than the total number of one and two rupee notes used. What was the price of the article?

A. Nandini used a total of 13 currency notes.

B. The price of the article was a multiple of Rs. 10.

Let the no. of 1,2,5,10 Rs notes be x,y,z,w.

According to given condition we have z+w=x+y+1 .

Now considering statement A

The possible values are 4+3=3+3+1 .

But in this case the data is not sufficient to find price of article as the both 5 and 10 rs can have any of the 4 or 3 notes.

Hence statement A is not sufficient.

Now considering statement B ,

The price of the article was a multiple of Rs. 10.

For this, more than 1 possibility of no. of notes of a particular value is there. Also 2 statements together can't give the total price of the article.
