Which of the below information is additionally required to answer the above question?

A.

The number of coins of Rs. 5 denomination was 25.

B.

The number of coins of Rs. 1, Rs. 2 and Rs. 5 were in the ratio of 3 : 2 : 1.

C.

The number of coins of Rs. 1 was thrice the number of coins of Rs. 5.

D.

The number of coins of Rs. 2 was twice the number of coins of Rs. 5

Correct option is B

Given
A man has some money with him in coins of denominations of Rs. 5, Rs. 2 and Rs. 1
The total number of coins was 150.
Number of Rs. 5 coins = x, number of Rs. 2 coins = y, number of Rs. 1 coins = z
We know: x + y + z = 150
From option b: The number of coins of Rs. 1, Rs. 2 and Rs. 5 were in the ratio of 3 : 2 : 1.
3x + 2x + x = 150
6x = 150
x = 25
One rupee = 3x = 75
Two rupees = 2x = 50
Five rupees = x = 25
Total amount = 150
The total amount with the person is 150.
So, option b is sufficient of answer the question.
Thus, correct option is (b).
