Correct Answer: 6
Solution : Let the number of Re. 1, Rs. 2, and Rs. 5 coins as \(x\), \(y\), and \(z\) respectively. Given that these are in the ratio 2 : 5 : 3, we can express them as \(x = 2k\), \(y = 5k\), and \(z = 3k\) for some constant \(k\). The total value of all coins is Rs. 54. $⇒1 \times x + 2 \times y + 5 \times z = 54$ Substituting the expressions for \(x\), \(y\), and \(z\) in terms of \(k\) into this equation gives: $⇒1 \times (2k) + 2 \times (5k) + 5 \times (3k) = 54$ $⇒k = 2$ Substituting \(k = 2\) into the expression for \(z\) gives \(z = 3 \times 2 = 6\) Hence, the correct answer is 6.
