Since the ratio of currency notes is 2:3:5. Therefore,

Let the number of currency notes of Rs.100, Rs.50 and  Rs.10 be 2x, 3x, 5x respectively.

Hence according to the question equation becomes,

100$\times$2x + 50$\times$3x + 10$\times$5x = 400000

or           200x + 150x + 50x  = 400000

or                   400x = 400000

Dividing both sides by 400 we get,

x = 1000 .

No. of Rs.100 notes = 2$\times$1000 = 2000 notes

No. of Rs.50 notes = 3$\times$1000 = 3000 notes

No. of Rs.10 notes = 5$\times$1000 = 5000 notes
