Question : A bag contains INR 550 in the form of 50 p, 25 p, and 20 p coins in the ratio 2 : 3 : 5. The difference between the amounts that are contributed by the 50 p and the 20 p coins is:
Option 1: INR 30
Option 2: INR 20
Option 3: INR 10
Option 4: INR 0
Correct Answer: INR 0
Solution :
Given:
A bag contains INR 550 in the form of 50 p, 25 p, and 20 p coins in the ratio 2 : 3 : 5.
So, the ratio of the amount contributed = 100 : 75 : 100= 4 : 3 : 4
So, the value 20 p coins in the bag is = $\frac{4}{11}×550=200$
And the value 50 p coins in the bag is = $\frac{4}{11}×550=200$
The difference between the amounts that are contributed by the 50 p and the 20 p coins is (200 – 200) = 0.
Hence, the correct answer is INR 0.
