    D 229 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    Let the number of ₹5, ₹2 and ₹1 coins be 2x, 3x and 5x respectively.

    ATQ:

    (2x × 5) + (3x × 2) + (5x × 1) = 609

    Or, 10x + 6x + 5x = 609

    Or, 21x = 609

    Or, x = 609 / 21 = 29

    So, number of ₹1 coins = 5x = 5 × 29 = 145
