Is it possible?

You have in all 500000 notes of 1, 10, 100, 1000 dollars in all.

Can the total sum be 1000000?

(Strictly for IX-X)

Others post the solution but only by hiding it

Let No. of notes of

1 dollar = a
10 dollar= b
100 dollar = c
1000 dollar= d

Now, a + b + c + d = 500000 (total no. of notes) ......(1)

also, a + 10b + 100c + 1000d = 1000000 ..........(2)

subtracting (1) from (2).....
9b + 99c + 999d = 1000000 - 500000 = 500000

9(b + 11c + 111d) = 500000

but 500000 is not divisible by 9
Hence we arrive at contradiction
Hence, the answer is not possible.
