Question

Observe the coins given below. Do you think the coins are arranged correctly in the increasing order of their value as we move from left to right? If not, how can we arrange the coins in decreasing order of their value?

• A. No; $A,E,F,C,B,D$
• B. Yes; $D,B,C,F,E,A$
• C. Yes; $A,F,E,C,B,D$
• D. No; $D,B,C,E,F,A$

Answer 1

The correct option is A No; $A,E,F,C,B,D$

Coin A shows a dollar coin, whose value is $100$ cents.
Coin B shows a nickel, whose value is $5$ cents.
Coin C shows a dime, whose value is $10$ cents.
Coin D shows a penny, whose value is $1$ cent.
Coin E shows a half-dollar coin, whose value is $50$ cents.
Coin F shows a quarter coin, whose value is $25$ cents.

Therefore, we can say that the coins are not correctly arranged in increasing order of their value.
We can arrange the coins from lowest to highest as $D,B,C,F,E,A.$

So, we can arrange the coins in decreasing order of their value as $A,E,F,C,B,D$


Hence, Option C is correct.
