(A) 43 Rupees
(B) 68 Rupees
(C) 75 Rupees
(D) 82 Rupees
Correct Option is: D
Since the ratio of the number of Rs. 1, 50p and 25p coins can be represented by 3 consecutive odd numbers
that are prime in ascending order, the only possibility for the ratio is 3:5:7.
Let the number of Re1, 50p and 25p coins be 3k, 5k and 7k respectively.
Hence, total value of coins in paise
⇒ 100×3k+50×5k+25×7k=725k=5800
⇒ k=8.
If the number of coins of Rs. 1,50p and 25p is reversed, the total value of coins in the
Bag (in paise) =100×7k+50×5k+25×3k=1025k (In above we find the value of k).
⇒ 8200p
= Rs 82.
