    Solution

    Let number of 10 paisa, 20 paisa and 50 paisa coins be тАШ9xтАЩ, тАШ8xтАЩ and тАШ10xтАЩ, respectively. ATQ, (0.1 ├Ч 9x) + (0.2 ├Ч 8x) + (0.5 ├Ч 10x) = 150 Or, 0.9x + 1.6x + 5x = 150 Or, 7.5x = 150 So, x = 20 So, number of 20 paisa coins = 8x = 160 Therefore, required number of coins = 0.5 ├Ч 160 = 80
