How much money did I have,with me when I entered?

From the given problem, it becomes clear that you have an odd number rupee with an even no. paisa
Let total rupee you had at the time of entering is x+1 and paisa is y,here x and y are even no.
according to the given condition
You had spent half money so remaining money you had will be x/2 rupee and 50+(y/2)paisa
so 50+(y/2) = x+1
and x/2 = 1/2(y) on solving we have x = 98 and y = 98 so amount would be 99 rupee and 98 paisa. thats it
