    A 10 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 11 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 12 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 8 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let number of 10 paisa, 20 paisa and 50 paisa coins be ‘8x’, ‘6x’ and ‘7x’, respectively. ATQ, (0.1 × 8x) + (0.2 × 6x) + (0.5 × 7x) = 44 Or, 0.8x + 1.2x + 3.5x = 44 Or, 5.5x = 44 So, x = 8 So, number of 20 paisa coins = 6x = 48 Therefore, required number of coins = 0.25 × 48 = 12
