A boy has a few coins of denominations 50 paise, 25 paise and 10 paise in the ratio 1:2:3. If the total amount of the coins is Rs.6.50, then the number of 10 paise coins is:-

A. 5

B. 10

C. 15

D. 20

Solution(By Examveda Team)

Ratio of the coins = 1 :2 :3

Let no. of 50 paise coins = x.

Value of 50 paise coins = x/2 = Rs. x/2.

No of 25 paise coins = 2x.

Value of 25 paise coins = 2x/4 = Rs. x/2.

No. of 10 paise coins = 3x.

Value of 10 paise coins = 3x/10. Rs. 3x/10.

Total value of the Coins = Rs. 6.50

(x/2) + (x/2) + (3x/10) = 6.50

(5x + 5x+ 3x)/10 = 6.50

13x = 65.

x = 5.
Then no of 10 paise coins = 3x = 3*5 = 15.

    paise(p) :- 0.5 0.25 0.1
    ratio(r) :- 1 2 3
    p*r :- 0.5 0.5 0.3

    now, 0.5+0.5+0.3= 1.3
    Divide 6.5 /1.3 = 5

    multiply :- 0.5*5 = 2.5 0.5*5=2.5 0.3*5=1.5

    No. of 10 paise = 1.5/0.1 = 15

    C) 15
    Coins :- 50 Paise 25 Paise 10 Paise
    Ratio:- 1 : 2 : 3 =6.50

    1/2 2/4 3/10

    So, 0.50 + 0.50 + 0.30 =6.50

    6.50/1.30=5 So, Ration 5*(1:2:3) 5: 10:15 So we have 10 paisa Coins is 15
