Answer 2

Answer:

 320

Step-by-step explanation:

As given,

The ratio of the number of coins of $1\; rupee,\; 50\; paise\; and \;25 \;paise$ in the piggy bank is $10:8:5$.

Let us assume that the number of $1 \;rupee$ the coin be $10x$, number of $50\; paise$ coin be $8x$ and number of $25\; paise$ coin be $5x$.

As given in the question, the total sum in the piggy bank is 976.

$1\times 10x+0.50\times 8x+0.25\times 5x=976\\10x+4x+1.25x=976\\15.25x=976\\x=\dfrac{976}{15.25}\\x=64$

So the number of 25 paise coins$=5\times x$

So the number of 25 paise coins$=5\times 64$

So the number of 25 paise coins$=320$
