In a bag, there are coins of 25 p, 10 p and 5 p in the ratio of 1 : 2 : 3. If there is Rs. 30 in all, how many 5 p coins are there?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Let the number of 25 p, 10 p and 5 p coins be x, 2x, 3x respectively.
| Then, sum of their values = Rs. |  |
25x | + | 10 x 2x | + | 5 x 3x |  |
= Rs. | 60x |
| 100 | 100 | 100 | 100 |
 |
60x | = 30 |  x = |
30 x 100 | = 50. |
| 100 | 60 |
Hence, the number of 5 p coins = (3 x 50) = 150.

Why they are equated to 30?
In problem, it is given that 30 rs in all, hence it would be equated to 90, right?

Then ,
The Questions asked that, find the value in coins of 5 paise
(3/12)*30.
=15/2 in ripped.
And in coins 15/2*20= 150 is the answer.

Can you explain why 3 is multiplied here?
i.e No of 5p coins = 3x = 3*50 = 150.

1/4*x + 1/5*x+3/20*x =30.
12x=30*20,
12x=600,
X=600/12=50,
No of 5p = 3(50) = 150.
12x=30*20,
12x=600,
X=600/12=50,
No of 5p = 3(50) = 150.

Given ratios 1 : 2 : 3.
Therefore 3/6 * 300p = 150,
Here 6 we get by adding all ratios i.e( 1 + 2 + 3).
Therefore 3/6 * 300p = 150,
Here 6 we get by adding all ratios i.e( 1 + 2 + 3).

@Tomoriba
How did you got 3/6*300 p =150,
It should be 3/6*3000p =150,
Here you multiplied 30 * 10 p which is wrong.
Shouldn't we multiply 30*1000?
