In a bag, there are coins of 25 p, 10 p and 5 p in the ratio of 1 : 2 : 3. If there is Rs. 30 in all, how many 5 p coins are there?

50
100
150
200

Correct Answer: 150

Explanation:

Let the number of 25 p, 10 p and 5 p coins be x, 2x, 3x respectively.

Then, sum of their values = Rs.	❨	25x	+	10 x 2x	+	5 x 3x	❩	= Rs.	60x
		100		100		100			100

∴	60x	= 30	⟺ x =	30 x 100	= 50.
	100			60

Hence, the number of 5 p coins = (3 x 50) = 150.
