Aravind has a kiddy bank. It is full of one-rupee and fifty paise coins. It contains 3 times as many fifty paise coins as one rupee coins. The total amount of the money in the bank is ₹ 35. How many coins of each kind are there in the bank? |

Answer» Number of 1 rupee coins = x say. Number of 50 paise coins = 3 × x = 3x The value of total coins = \(\frac{3x}2\) + x [∵50 paisa coins of 3x = ₹ \(\frac{3x}2\) According to the sum ⇒ \(\frac{3x}2\) + x = 35 ⇒ \(\frac{3x\,+\,2x}{2}\) = 35 ⇒ 5x = 2 × 35 ⇒ x = 2 × \(\frac{35}2\) ∴ x = 14 ∴ Number of 1 rupee coins = 14 Number of 50 paisa coins = 3 × x = 3 × 14 = 42 |
