Calculation

Ratio of the number of 2 rupee, 1 rupee and 50 paise coins is 3 : 4: 5

Let, number of

2 rupee notes = 3x

1 rupee notes = 4x

50 paise coins = 5x

 

Total amount in the bag is Rs. 250

Hence,

6x + 4x + 5x/2 = 250

⇒ x = 20

So,

Number of 1 rupee coins = 20 × 4 = 80

6x + 4x + 5x/2 = 250

⇒ 25x/2 = 250

⇒ x = 20
