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.

1/6:2/6:3/6
30/6=5

Ratio is 20:100:300
