    C Rs. 420 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. 360 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Rs. 380 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Ratio of the number of coins of denominations Rs. 2 : Rs. 5 : Rs. 10 = 3 : 4 : 5
    Let, the number of coins of Rs. 2, Rs. 5 and Rs. 10 in the bag be 3x, 4x and 5x.
    Since, the total value of Rs. 2 coins in the bag is Rs. 48
    So, value of Rs. 2 coins = 3x × 2 = 6x
    6x = 48, x = 8
    Therefore, number of Rs. 10 coins in the bag 5x = 40
    So, required value of Rs. 10 coins = 5 × 8 × 10 = Rs. 400
