• A. 600
• B. 800
• C. 1200
• D. 900

Answer 1

The correct option is D 900

Let the number of Rs.1 ,50 paise and 25 paise be 3,4,12
The value of one rupee coins=$Rs.1\times 3=3Rs.$
The value of 50 paise coins=$.50\times 4=2Rs$
The value of 25 paise coins =$.25\times 12=3Rs$
Total value =$3+2+3=8$
If the total value is Rs 8 there are 12 coins of 25 paise
If the total value is 600 then the number of 25 paise coins=$\frac{600}{8}\times 12=900$
