Ratio & Proportion · Question 8 · Medium
A bag contains ₹1, 50-paise and 25-paise coins in the ratio 5 : 6 : 8. The total value is ₹210. How many 50-paise coins are there?
- 105
- 168
- 126
- 84
Answer and explanation
Answer: C. 126
Explanation: Value per set = 5 × 1 + 6 × 0.5 + 8 × 0.25 = ₹10. Number of sets = 210 ÷ 10 = 21, so 50-paise coins = 6 × 21 = 126.
