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.
