    C 10 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 8 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Total coins used = 25. let the number of ₹10 coins = x Number of ₹5 coins = y Number of ₹2 coins = z Total number of coins = x + y + z = 25      ........(1) Total money = 10x + 5y + 2z = 120 ..........(2) from equation (1), we get z = 25 - x - y put this value in equation (2), we get 8x + 3y = 70 so, if x = 8, then y = 2 then, z = 25 - 8 - 2 = 15 required answer = 8
