Answer: 20 of banknotes, denomination of Rs. 10 and 15 of banknotes, denomination of Rs. 20.

Explanation:

Let the number of banknotes, denomination of Rs. 10 will be equal to x,

and the number of banknotes, denomination of Rs. 20 will be equal to y.

Hence;
$\left \{ {{x+y=35\ \ \ \ } \atop :10 \ \ } \right. \ \ \ \ \left \{ {{x+y=35\ \ (1)} \atop {x+2y=50\ \ (2)}} \right. \\$

From (2) subtract (1):

$y=15\ \ \ \ \ \Rightarrow\\x+15=35\\x=20.$
