The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, let's denote the number of Rs. 1 coins as \( x \). ### Step 1: Define the Variables - Let the number of Rs. 1 coins be \( x \). - The number of Rs. 2 coins is twice the number of Rs. 1 coins, so it will be \( 2x \). - The number of Rs. 5 coins is thrice the number of Rs. 2 coins, so it will be \( 3 \times (2x) = 6x \). ### Step 2: Calculate the Total Value of Coins Now, let's calculate the total value of the coins: - The total value from Rs. 1 coins is \( 1 \times x = x \). - The total value from Rs. 2 coins is \( 2 \times (2x) = 4x \). - The total value from Rs. 5 coins is \( 5 \times (6x) = 30x \). ### Step 3: Set Up the Equation According to the problem, the total amount in the bag is Rs. 700. Therefore, we can set up the equation: \[ x + 4x + 30x = 700 \] ### Step 4: Combine Like Terms Combine the terms on the left side: \[ 35x = 700 \] ### Step 5: Solve for \( x \) To find \( x \), divide both sides by 35: \[ x = \frac{700}{35} = 20 \] ### Step 6: Find the Number of Each Type of Coin Now that we have \( x \): - The number of Rs. 1 coins is \( x = 20 \). - The number of Rs. 2 coins is \( 2x = 2 \times 20 = 40 \). - The number of Rs. 5 coins is \( 6x = 6 \times 20 = 120 \). ### Step 7: Calculate the Total Number of Coins Finally, to find the total number of coins in the bag, we add the number of each type of coin: \[ \text{Total coins} = x + 2x + 6x = 20 + 40 + 120 = 180 \] ### Final Answer The total number of coins in the bag is **180**. ---
