A beggar had ten paise, twenty paise and one rupee coins in the ratio 10: 17: 7 respectively at the end of day. If that day he earned a total of Rs.57, how many twenty paise coins did he have?

A. 114

B. 171

C. 95

D. 85

Answer: Option D

Solution (By Examveda Team)

The ratio of the values of the three coins are:
10 × 10 : 17 × 20 : 7 × 100 = 100:340:700
= 5:17:35 is the ratio of division of value of coins.
Thus, 20 paise coins correspond to 17. Hence, there will be 85 coins.
