Answer 2

Dear Student,

● Answer -

50 paisa coins = 120 coins

● Explaination -

Let x be some common multiple such that

1 rupee coins = 5x

50 paisa coins = 6x

25 paisa coins = 8x

Total money in the bag is -

5x×1 + 6x×0.5 + 8×0.25 = 200

5x + 3x + 2x = 200

10x = 200

x = 200/10

x = 20

No of 50 paisa coins are -

50 paisa coins = 6 × 20

50 paisa coins = 120 coins

Hence, no of 50 paisa coins are 120.

Thanks dear...
