The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the ratio of coins The ratio of Rs. 1 coins, 50p coins, and 25p coins is expressed by three consecutive odd prime numbers in ascending order. The first three consecutive odd prime numbers are 3, 5, and 7. ### Step 2: Assign variables based on the ratio Let: - The number of Rs. 1 coins = 3x - The number of 50p coins = 5x - The number of 25p coins = 7x ### Step 3: Calculate the total value of the coins The total value of the coins can be calculated as follows: - Value of Rs. 1 coins = 3x * 1 = 3x Rs. - Value of 50p coins = 5x * 0.5 = 2.5x Rs. - Value of 25p coins = 7x * 0.25 = 1.75x Rs. Now, adding these values together: Total value = 3x + 2.5x + 1.75x = 7.25x Rs. ### Step 4: Set up the equation based on the total value According to the problem, the total value of coins is Rs. 58. Therefore, we can set up the equation: 7.25x = 58 ### Step 5: Solve for x To find x, we divide both sides of the equation by 7.25: x = 58 / 7.25 x = 8 ### Step 6: Calculate the number of each type of coin Now, we can find the number of each type of coin: - Number of Rs. 1 coins = 3x = 3 * 8 = 24 - Number of 50p coins = 5x = 5 * 8 = 40 - Number of 25p coins = 7x = 7 * 8 = 56 ### Step 7: Reverse the number of coins If the number of Rs. 1, 50p, and 25p coins are reversed, we have: - Number of Rs. 1 coins = 56 - Number of 50p coins = 40 - Number of 25p coins = 24 ### Step 8: Calculate the new total value of the coins Now we calculate the new total value: - Value of Rs. 1 coins = 56 * 1 = 56 Rs. - Value of 50p coins = 40 * 0.5 = 20 Rs. - Value of 25p coins = 24 * 0.25 = 6 Rs. Adding these values together gives us: New total value = 56 + 20 + 6 = 82 Rs. ### Final Answer The new total value of coins in the pocket of A is Rs. 82. ---
