\nThere are 5 notes of \u20b910 in the bag.
\n<\/section>\n
\nThe ratio of the number of notes of \u20b910, \u20b920, and \u20b950 is 1 : 2 : 3.
\nLet the number of \u20b910 notes be x.
\nThen, the number of \u20b920 notes is 2x.
\nAnd the number of \u20b950 notes is 3x.<\/p>\n

The total value of the money in the bag is the sum of the values of each type of note:
\nValue from \u20b910 notes = x * \u20b910 = 10x
\nValue from \u20b920 notes = 2x * \u20b920 = 40x
\nValue from \u20b950 notes = 3x * \u20b950 = 150x<\/p>\n

Total money = 10x + 40x + 150x = 200x.
\nWe are given that the total money is \u20b91,000.
\nSo, 200x = 1000.
\nSolving for x:
\nx = 1000 \/ 200
\nx = 5.<\/p>\n

The number of \u20b910 notes is x, which is 5.
\n<\/section>\n

\nNumber of \u20b910 notes = 5 (Value = 5 * \u20b910 = \u20b950)
\nNumber of \u20b920 notes = 2 * 5 = 10 (Value = 10 * \u20b920 = \u20b9200)
\nNumber of \u20b950 notes = 3 * 5 = 15 (Value = 15 * \u20b950 = \u20b9750)
\nTotal value = \u20b950 + \u20b9200 + \u20b9750 = \u20b91000. This confirms the calculation.
