Correct Answer: 315


Solution : The ratio of red block to blue block = 2 : 5 = 6 : 15
The ratio of blue block to yellow block = 15 : 7
$\therefore$ The ratio of red block to blue block to yellow block = 6 : 15 : 7
Let $6x,15x,$ and $7x$ be the numbers of red, blue and yellow blocks, respectively.
Total number of colour blocks = 1260
$⇒ 6x+ 15x+ 7x = 1260$
$⇒ 28x = 1260$
$\therefore x=\frac{1260}{28}= 45$
So, the number of yellow blocks = 45 × 7 = 315
Hence, the correct answer is 315.
