In a purse for every 8 notes of 10/- it should have 5 notes of 5/-. For every 8 notes of 5/- it should have 3 notes of 1/-. If value of 5 notes =200 then what is the total amount in the purse?

To find the total amount in the purse, we need to calculate the value of each type of note and then sum them up.

Let's start by finding the value of the 1/- notes. For every 8 notes of 5/-, there should be 3 notes of 1/-. Therefore, we can calculate the value of 1/- notes as follows:

Value of 5/- notes = 200
Number of sets of 8 notes of 5/- = 200 / 8 = 25 sets
Number of 1/- notes = 25 sets * 3 notes per set = 75 notes
Total value of 1/- notes = 75 * 1 = 75/-

Next, let's find the value of the 5/- notes. If the value of 5/- notes is 200, then the number of sets of 8 notes of 5/- can be calculated as:

Number of sets of 8 notes of 5/- = 200 / 5 = 40 sets

Finally, to find the total amount in the purse, we can sum up the value of 1/- notes and the value of 5/- notes:

Total value = Value of 5/- notes + Value of 1/- notes
= 40 sets * 5/- per set + 75/-
= 200/- + 75/-
= 275/-

Therefore, the total amount in the purse is 275/-.
