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

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let number of coins = 15x, 12x, 9x

    Amount = (15x ├Ч 0.20) + (12x ├Ч 0.50) + (9x ├Ч 2)

    тЗТ 3x + 6x + 18x = 3006

    тЗТ 27x = 3006

    тЗТ x = 111

    So, number of 50-paise coins = 12x = 12 ├Ч 111 = 1332
