Correct choice: A

Explanation:

Given total rupees = 20 Rs No. of one rupee stamps = 3 Now, remaining money = Rs. 17 With that he buys only 2 and 5 rupee stamps Let number of Rs. 5 stamps = K Let number of Rs. 2 stamps = L 5K + 2L = 17 K = 3, L = 1 (possible) L = 6, K = 1 (possible) => But given that they are different in number so, K is not equal to 3 one rupee stamps = 3 2 two stamps = 6 5 rupee stamps = 1 Total number of stamps = 10.
