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.

To convert them into rupees.
You can either convert rupee to paise or paise rupee to make them in the same unit.
Here, an interesting fact is that. From the given option the only divisible by 3 is 150. So without calculating also we can answer the question in quick time.

The answer already presented by most over here, where there are 150 5p coins.
And
20 25p coins, 100 10p coins & 300 5p coins. This solution can be validated by adding the total value of all these coins.

Let apply proportion 1 : 2 : 3.
25p : 10p : 5p,
Rs 30 = 300 p,
3/6 * 300 = 50 * 3 = 150.
25p : 10p : 5p,
Rs 30 = 300 p,
3/6 * 300 = 50 * 3 = 150.
