Correct Answer: 144


Solution : Given: The ratio of coins of Rs. 2, Rs. 5, and Rs. 10 = 5 ∶ 7 ∶ 6
According to the ratio given:
Let the 2 Rs, 5 Rs. and 10 Rs. coin be = $5x, 7x$ and $6x$ respectively
Total rupees = Rs. 840
⇒ $5x \times 2 + 7x \times 5 + 6x \times 10 = 840$
⇒ $x = \frac{840}{105} = 8$
Total number of coins in bag = $5x+7x+6x=18x=18\times8=144$
Hence, the correct answer is 144.
