Answer 2

Let the number of ₹5 coins be x.

Then,

number ₹2 coins = 3x

and, number of ₹1 coins = (160 – 4x) Now,

Value of ₹5 coins = x × 5 = 5x

Value of ₹2 coins = 3x × 2 = 6x

Value of ₹1 coins = (160 – 4x) × 1 = (160 – 4x)

According to the question,

5x + 6x + (160 – 4x) = 300

⇒ 11x + 160 – 4x = 300

⇒ 7x = 140

⇒ x = 140/7

⇒ x = 20

Number of ₹5 coins = x = 20

Number of ₹2 coins = 3x = 60

Number of ₹1 coins = (160 – 4x) = 160 – 80 = 80
