    A 85 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 82 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 80 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 87 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let number of 10 paisa, 20 paisa and 50 paisa coins be β€˜9x’, β€˜8x’ and β€˜10x’, respectively. ATQ, (0.1 Γ— 9x) + (0.2 Γ— 8x) + (0.5 Γ— 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 Γ— 160 = 80
