• A. 200,360,160
• B. 200,160,360
• C. 160,200,360
• D. data insufficient
• E. none

Answer 1

The correct option is A

200,360,160

Hence no. of coins be 5x, 9x, 4x respectively

Now given total amount = Rs. 206

$\Rightarrow \left(.50\right)\left(5x\right)+\left(.25\right)\left(9x\right)+\left(.10\right)\left(4x\right)=206$

We get x = 40

$\Rightarrow No.of50pcoins=200$

$\Rightarrow No.of25pcoins=360$

$\Rightarrow No.of10pcoins=160$
