The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will follow the instructions given in the video transcript. ### Step 1: Understand the Ratio We are given that the ratio of ₹1 coins to ₹2 coins is 7:4. This means for every 7 ₹1 coins, there are 4 ₹2 coins. ### Step 2: Set Up Variables Let: - \( X \) = number of ₹1 coins - \( Y \) = number of ₹2 coins According to the ratio, we can write: \[ \frac{X}{Y} = \frac{7}{4} \] ### Step 3: Express Y in Terms of X From the ratio, we can express \( Y \) in terms of \( X \): \[ Y = \frac{4}{7}X \] ### Step 4: Total Number of Coins We know that the total number of coins is 242. Therefore, we can write: \[ X + Y = 242 \] ### Step 5: Substitute Y in the Total Equation Now, substitute \( Y \) from Step 3 into the total equation: \[ X + \frac{4}{7}X = 242 \] ### Step 6: Combine Like Terms To combine the terms, convert \( X \) into a fraction: \[ \frac{7}{7}X + \frac{4}{7}X = 242 \] This simplifies to: \[ \frac{11}{7}X = 242 \] ### Step 7: Solve for X To isolate \( X \), multiply both sides by \( \frac{7}{11} \): \[ X = 242 \times \frac{7}{11} \] Calculating \( 242 \div 11 \): \[ 242 \div 11 = 22 \] Now, multiply by 7: \[ X = 22 \times 7 = 154 \] ### Step 8: Find Y Now that we have \( X \), we can find \( Y \): \[ Y = 242 - X = 242 - 154 = 88 \] ### Step 9: Calculate Total Amount of Money Now we can calculate the total amount of money in the purse: \[ \text{Total Amount} = (X \times 1) + (Y \times 2) \] Substituting the values of \( X \) and \( Y \): \[ \text{Total Amount} = (154 \times 1) + (88 \times 2) = 154 + 176 = 330 \] ### Final Answer The total amount of money in the purse is **₹330**. ---
