    What is the total amount with the person?
    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).
