Answer 1

Total amount in the bag = Rs. 30 = 3000 paise

Let the number of 50 paise coins be x

Then the number of 25 paise coins = 4x

Now, according to the question

25(4x)+50x = 3000

100x + 50x = 3000

150x = 3000

3000

X

150

x = 20

4x= 80

Therefore, number of 50 paise coins = 20

Number of 25 paise coins = 80
