    Question

    In a box containing one rupee, 50 paise and 25 paise coins in the ratio 1 : 2 : 3, the number of 50 paise coins was eighty. How much money was there in the box?

    A.

    ₹108

    B.

    ₹100

    C.

    ₹105

    D.

    ₹110

    Correct option is D

    Given:

    The ratio of one rupee coins, 50 paise coins, and 25 paise coins is 1 : 2 : 3.

    The number of 50 paise coins is eighty.

    Solution:

    Let the number of one rupee coins be x, 50 paise coins is 2x , 25 paise coins is 3x 

    The number of 50 paise coins is 80:

    2x = 80 

    x = 802\frac{80}{2} = 40

    ​Now, 

    One rupee coins: x = 40

    50 paise coins: 2x = 80

    25 paise coins: 3x=120 

    The total amount of money:

    One rupee coins (40 coins): 40×1 rupee = 40 rupees

    50 paise coins (80 coins): 80×0.50 rupees = 40 rupees

    25 paise coins (120 coins): 120×0.25 rupees = 30 rupees

    40 rupees + 40 rupees + 30 rupees = 110 rupees

    So, the total money in the box is 110 rupees.

    Thus, correct answer is (d) 110 rupees
