• C. $32$
• D. $Noneofthese$

Answer 1

The correct option is A $48$

50 paise = 0.5 Rs

25 paise = 0.25 Rs

Let the common multiple be x

Therefore, number of 1 Rs , 50 paise and 25 paise coins are 4x , 5x and 6x respectively.

According to the given condition,

4x + 5x + 6x = 120

15x = 120

x = 8

Thus , the number of 25 paise coins = 6x

= 6 x 8

= 48 coins
