Answer 1

Sumitra have paise = 34 × 100

3400

let 50 paise coins be x
then coins = 50x

let 25 paise coins be 2x
then coins be = 25× 2x
=50×

according to the question = 50x + 50x = 3400

100x = 3400

x = 3400/100

x = 34

x is the number for 50 paise coins.

then number of 25 paise coins
be = 2x
=2× 34
=68
