There are Rs. 225 consisting of Rs. 1, 50 paise and 25 paise coins. The ratio of their numbers in that order is 8 : 5 : 3 respectively. The number of one - rupee coins is:1. 802. 1603. 1124. 172

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 2 : 160

Given:

Total cost = Rs. 225

Ratio of number of Rs. 1, 50 paise and 25 paise coins = 8 : 5 : 3

Calculations:

Let the number of Rs. 1, 50 paise and 25 paise coins be 8x, 5x, 3x respectively.

Total cost of Rs. 1 coins = Rs. 8x

Total cost of 50 paise coins = 0.5 × 5x = Rs. 2.5x

Total cost of 25 paise coins = 0.25 × 3x = Rs. 0.75x

Total cost = Rs. 225

⇒ 8x + 2.5x + 0.75x = 225

⇒ 11.25x = 225

⇒ x = 20

Number of Rs. 1 coins = 8x

⇒ 8 × 20

⇒ Rs. 160

∴ The number of one - rupee coins is Rs. 160.
