Question

Sita has ₹42 in the form of fifty paise and one rupee coins. If the number of one rupee coins are thrice the number of fifty paise coins, find the number of fifty paise coins.

Answer 1

Answer: 50 paise coins are 12 and 1 rupee coins are 36 in number.

Step-by-step explanation: let the no.of  50 paise coins be x

                        therefore, the no. of 1 rupee coins are 3x

According to the problem ,

    100 x 3X + 50 x X= 4200

⇒300X + 50X= 4200

⇒350X = 4200

⇒X= 4200/350

⇒X = 12

Therefore the no.of 50 paise coins are 12 and no.of 1 rupee coins are 3 x 12 i.e 36.
