    C 1662 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 1470 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let number of coins = 18x, 7x, 5x

    Amount = (18x × 0.10) + (7x × 0.25) + (5x × 1)

    ⇒ 1.8x + 1.75x + 5x = 2516

    ⇒ 8.55x = 2516

    ⇒ x = 294

    So, number of 1-rupee coins = 5x = 5 × 294 = 1470
