The correct Answer is:
C

From statement I, the number of Rs 10 Rs 5, Rs 2 and Rs 1 notes are either 1,1, 1 and 3 respectively or 1,1,2 and 1 respectively.
So the number of Rs 2 notes is either 1 or 2.
`:.` Statement I alone is not sufficient.
From statement, II, we do not know the total amount with Praveen. Hence we can.t answer the question.
Using both the statements the total number of notes is 5 (as the total number of notes is prime) so the number of Rs 2 notes is 2.
