a boy has 728 rs denomination of 2 rs notes,5 rs notes and 10 rs nots in the ratio of 3:2:4,respectively.
What is the total number of notes he has?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The condition says that the numbers of bills are

   3x for 2-rs notes,
   2x for 5-rs notes, and
   4x for 10-rs notes,

where x in an unknown "common measure" of these quantities (of bills).

Then your "value" equation is

  2*(3x) + 5*(2x) + 10*(4x) = 728,   or

  6x + 10x + 40x = 728,   or

  56x = 728.

Then x = 728%2F56 = 13.

Thus there are 3*13 = 39 of the 2-rs notes, 2*13 = 26 of the 5-rs notes and 4*13 = 52 of the 10-rs notes.

In total, 39 + 26 + 52 = 117 notes.

The individual notes are of some factor x.
3%2A2x%2B2%2A5x%2B4%2A10x=728
6x%2B10x%2B40x=728
56x=728
x=728%2F56
x=13

Multiply each ratio part by 13.
Rs Notes     How Many Notes
2                13
5                65
10              130
Total           208

As usual, if you don't know by now, NEVER follow anything the person: "JOGS" does. He's on here to make you fail, and to CONFUSE you.
Don't even LOOK at anything he does, as he's not helping you or anyone, AT ALL.
