The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will define the variables and set up equations based on the information given. ### Step 1: Define Variables Let: - \( x \) = number of 25 paise coins - \( y \) = number of 50 paise coins ### Step 2: Convert Total Value to Paise The total value of the coins is given as Rs 30. Since 1 Rupee = 100 Paise, we convert Rs 30 to paise: \[ 30 \text{ Rs} = 30 \times 100 = 3000 \text{ paise} \] ### Step 3: Set Up the First Equation The total value of the coins can be expressed as: \[ 25x + 50y = 3000 \] This is our first equation. ### Step 4: Set Up the Second Equation We are told that the number of 25 paise coins is four times that of 50 paise coins. Therefore, we can express this relationship as: \[ x = 4y \] This is our second equation. ### Step 5: Substitute Equation 2 into Equation 1 Now, we will substitute \( x \) from the second equation into the first equation: \[ 25(4y) + 50y = 3000 \] This simplifies to: \[ 100y + 50y = 3000 \] Combining like terms gives: \[ 150y = 3000 \] ### Step 6: Solve for \( y \) Now, we can solve for \( y \): \[ y = \frac{3000}{150} = 20 \] So, the number of 50 paise coins \( y \) is 20. ### Step 7: Solve for \( x \) Now that we have \( y \), we can find \( x \) using the second equation: \[ x = 4y = 4 \times 20 = 80 \] So, the number of 25 paise coins \( x \) is 80. ### Final Answer - The number of 25 paise coins is **80**. - The number of 50 paise coins is **20**. ---
