Question

what is the least but equal number of 50 paise and 25 paise coins required to get a whole of rupees

Answer 1

The least but equal number of 50 paise and 25 paise coins required to get a whole of rupees is given below.

We know that, 100 paise is equal to one rupee, so we have,

1 rupee = 100 paise.

2 × 50 paise = 100 paise = 1 rupee

4 × 25 paise = 100 paise = 1 rupee

1 × 50 paise + 2 × 25 paise = 50 paise + 50 paise = 100 paise = 1 rupee
