    Question

    There are 40 coins in a bag. They are of ₹5 and ₹10 denominations and the total amount of money added together is ₹310. What is the difference between the amount of money in all ₹10 coins and the amount of money in all ₹5 coins?

    A.

    ₹120

    B.

    ₹130

    C.

    ₹110

    D.

    ₹125

    Correct option is B

    Given:
    Total number of coins = 40
    Denominations of coins = ₹5 and ₹10
    Total amount of money = ₹310
    Solution:
    Let:
    x = number of ₹5 coins
    y = number of ₹10 coins
    The total number of coins:
    x + y = 40
    x = 40 − y  .....(1)
    The total value of the coins:
    5x + 10y = 310  ...(2)
    Equation (1) put in equation (2),
    5(40−y) + 10y = 310
    200 − 5y + 10y = 310
    200 + 5y = 310
    5y = 110
    y = 22
    Put y = 22 into equation 1;
    x + 22 = 40
    x = 18
    The total amount of money in ₹10 coins = 10 × 22 = 220
    The total amount of money in ₹5 coins = 5 × 18 = 90
    The difference between the amount of money in ₹10 coins and ₹5 coins = 220 − 90 = 130
    So, The difference is ₹130.
    Thus, the correct answer is (b).
