    Question

    A pouch contains 50 Paisa, 25 Paisa and 10 Paisa coins in the ratio 18 : 12 : 10, amounting to ₹130. Find the number of 10 Paisa coins.​

    A.

    149

    B.

    184

    C.

    100

    D.

    180

    Correct option is C

    Given:

    The ratio of 50 Paisa, 25 Paisa, and 10 Paisa coins = 18 : 12 : 10

    Total amount = ₹130 = 130 × 100 = 13000 Paisa

    Solution:

    Let the number of 50 Paisa coins be 18x

    the number of 25 Paisa coins be 12x,

    and the number of 10 Paisa coins be 10x

    Now, 

    (50×18x)+(25×12x)+(10×10x)(50 \times 18x) + (25 \times 12x) + (10 \times 10x) ​= 13000

    900x + 300x + 100x = 13000

    1300x = 13000

    x = 130001300\frac{13000}{1300}​ = 10

    Now, the number of 10 Paisa coins = 10x = 10 × 10 = 100
