Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Given: Value ratio of 1 Re, 50 P, and 25 P coins is 5 : 2 : 3.
Convert values to coin counts:
1 Re coins: 5x / 1 = 5x coins.
50 P coins: 2x / 0.5 = 4x coins.
25 P coins: 3x / 0.25 = 12x coins.
Total coins: 5x + 4x + 12x = 21x.
Solve for x: 21x = 420 => x = 20.
Total Value: (5x + 2x + 3x) = 10x = 10 * 20 = 200 rupees.
Final Answer: Option 1 (200)
