  1. Quantity 1: Sachin had 10 paisa, 25 paisa and 50 paisa coins in the ratio of 10:8:9 respectively. After giving Rs. 20 to his mother he had Rs.40. How many 50 paisa coins did he have?

Quantity 2: Value of $x+(x \div 2)$, where $(786 \times 74) \div x=1211.75$

Show Answer

Correct Answer: 88. (5)

Solution: 88. (5) Quantity - 1 :

$(10 \times 0.10 y)+(8 \times 0.25 y)+(9 \times$ $0.50 y)=60$

$\Rightarrow y+2 y+4.5 y=60$

$\Rightarrow 7.5 y=60 \Rightarrow y=\frac{60}{7.5}=8$

$\therefore$ Number of 50 paisa coins

$=9 \times 8=72$

Quantity - 2 :

$(786 \times 74) \div x=1211.75$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{786 \times 74}{1211.75}$

$\Rightarrow x=48$

As per the question

$x+(x \div 2)=48+\left(\frac{48}{2}\right)$

$=72$
