The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will break it down into parts as per the requirements of the question. ### Step 1: Calculate the total number of ways to give none or some coins to a beggar. The person has: - 3 coins of 25 paise - 4 coins of 50 paise - 2 coins of 1 rupee For each type of coin, the person can choose to give 0 to the maximum number of coins he has. 1. **Coins of 25 paise**: He can give 0, 1, 2, or 3 coins. This gives us 4 options (0 to 3). 2. **Coins of 50 paise**: He can give 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4 coins. This gives us 5 options (0 to 4). 3. **Coins of 1 rupee**: He can give 0, 1, or 2 coins. This gives us 3 options (0 to 2). Now, we multiply the number of options for each type of coin: \[ \text{Total ways} = (3 + 1)(4 + 1)(2 + 1) = 4 \times 5 \times 3 \] Calculating this gives: \[ 4 \times 5 = 20 \] \[ 20 \times 3 = 60 \] Thus, the total number of ways he can give none or some coins to a beggar is **60**. ### Step 2: Calculate the number of ways to give at least one coin of 1 rupee. When he must give at least one coin of 1 rupee, we adjust the options: 1. **Coins of 25 paise**: Still 4 options (0 to 3). 2. **Coins of 50 paise**: Still 5 options (0 to 4). 3. **Coins of 1 rupee**: Now he can give 1 or 2 coins. This gives us 2 options (1 to 2). Now, we multiply the number of options again: \[ \text{Total ways} = (3 + 1)(4 + 1)(2) = 4 \times 5 \times 2 \] Calculating this gives: \[ 4 \times 5 = 20 \] \[ 20 \times 2 = 40 \] Thus, the number of ways he can give at least one coin of 1 rupee is **40**. ### Step 3: Calculate the number of ways to give at least one coin of each kind. For this case, he must give at least one coin of each type: 1. **Coins of 25 paise**: He can give 1, 2, or 3 coins. This gives us 3 options (1 to 3). 2. **Coins of 50 paise**: He can give 1, 2, 3, or 4 coins. This gives us 4 options (1 to 4). 3. **Coins of 1 rupee**: He can give 1 or 2 coins. This gives us 2 options (1 to 2). Now, we multiply the number of options: \[ \text{Total ways} = (3)(4)(2) = 3 \times 4 \times 2 \] Calculating this gives: \[ 3 \times 4 = 12 \] \[ 12 \times 2 = 24 \] Thus, the number of ways he can give at least one coin of each kind is **24**. ### Summary of Results: - Total ways to give none or some coins: **60** - Ways to give at least one coin of 1 rupee: **40** - Ways to give at least one coin of each kind: **24**
