      B 275 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 245 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 355 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      ATQ,

      Let the number of ₹2, ₹1 and 25p coins be 3x, 5x and 7x respectively.

      ATQ:

      (3x × 2) + (5x × 1) + (7x × 0.25) = 446.25

      Or, 6x + 5x + 1.75x = 446.25

      Or, 12.75x = 446.25

      Or, 12.75x = 446.25 → x = 35

      So, number of 25-paise coins = 7x = 7 × 35 = 245
