The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will define the variables, set up the equations based on the information given, and then solve for the unknowns. ### Step 1: Define the Variables Let: - \( x \) = number of 1 rupee coins - \( y \) = number of 2 rupee coins ### Step 2: Set Up the Equations From the problem, we know: 1. The total amount of money is 256 rupees: \[ x + 2y = 256 \quad \text{(Equation 1)} \] 2. The number of 2 rupee coins is three more than twice the number of 1 rupee coins: \[ y = 2x + 3 \quad \text{(Equation 2)} \] ### Step 3: Substitute Equation 2 into Equation 1 We can substitute the expression for \( y \) from Equation 2 into Equation 1: \[ x + 2(2x + 3) = 256 \] Expanding this gives: \[ x + 4x + 6 = 256 \] Combining like terms: \[ 5x + 6 = 256 \] ### Step 4: Solve for \( x \) Now, we will isolate \( x \): \[ 5x = 256 - 6 \] \[ 5x = 250 \] \[ x = \frac{250}{5} = 50 \] ### Step 5: Solve for \( y \) Now that we have \( x \), we can find \( y \) using Equation 2: \[ y = 2(50) + 3 \] \[ y = 100 + 3 = 103 \] ### Step 6: Calculate the Total Value of 2 Rupee Coins Now we can find the total value of the 2 rupee coins: \[ \text{Total value of 2 rupee coins} = 2y = 2 \times 103 = 206 \text{ rupees} \] ### Final Answer The total value of the 2 rupee coins is **206 rupees**. ---
