Question

Saraswati 24 and 50 paise and 25 paise coins if the number of 25 paise coins be twice the number of 50 paise coins how many coins of each kind does he have

Answer 1

saraswati have = 24×100
=2400 paise

let number of 50 paise coins be = x
then 50 × x = 50x

let the number of 25 paise be = 2x
then 2x × 25 = 50

according to the question

50x + 50x = 2400

100x = 2400

x = 2400/100

x = 24

x is the number for 50 paise coins

so the number of 25 paise coins be

2 × 24 = 48
