Question

$83.33\%$ of coins out of $36$ coins are $20$ paise coins and rest are $10$ paise coins which amounts to $6.60$. Find the number of $10$ paise coins.

• A. $8$
• B. $5$
• C. $6$
• D. $2$

Answer 1

The correct option is C $6$

Given : $83.33$% of $36$ coins are $20$ paisa coins

$83.33$% of $36=\left(\frac{83.33}{100}\right)\times 36=30$

So, $30$ coins are $20$ paise coins and remaining $(36-30)=6$ coins are $10$ paise coins.

Value $=30\times 20+6\times 10=660$ Paise $=Rs.6.60$, which is the given amount.

$\therefore$ Number of $10$ paise coins are $6$.
