    Not sure if I'm reading this right but there will be a ton of solutions: For example:-

    1. 1 Gents: 5 Rs.
    2. 90 Ladies: 1 Rs x 90 = Rs. 90
    3. 100 Kids: 5p x 100 = Rs. 5

    OR

    1. 18 Gents: Rs. 90
    2. 9 Ladies: Rs. 9
    3. 20 kids: Rs. 1

    😨

    Exactly my point. There can be hundreds of solutions.

    Here is one -

    18 Gents -> 18 x Rs. 5 = Rs. 90
    9 Ladies -> 9 x Rs. 1 = Rs. 9
    20 Kids -> 20 x 5 Paisa = Rs. 1

    Not really. If the total number of passengers in a bus load is specified and the bus is full. If this is done, then interesting solutions can emerge.

    Even if the bus is allotted a capacity and is full, we still have under-constrained the problem, n(equations) != n(variables). For a unique solution, we need another relation (women = 2*men, etc)
