Correct Answer: 50000


Solution : Let the number of tickets be $3n, 2n,$ and $5n$.
According to the question,
$(3n×1000)+(2n×500)+(5n×200) = 25000000$
⇒ $3000n+1000n+1000n = 25000000$
⇒ $5000n = 25000000$
⇒ $n = \frac{25000000}{5000}$
$\therefore n= 5000$
So, total number of tickets $=(3n+2n+5n) = 10n= (10 × 5000) = 50000$
Hence, the correct answer is 50000.
