A bag contains ₹5, ₹2, and ₹1 coins in the ratio 2 : 3 : 4. If the total amount of money in the bag is ₹200, find the number of coins of each kind.
20 coins of ₹5, 30 coins of ₹2, and 40 coins of ₹1
Let the number of ₹5, ₹2, and ₹1 coins be 2x, 3x, and 4x respectively.
Total value: \(5(2x) + 2(3x) + 1(4x) = 10x + 6x + 4x = 20x = 200\)
\(x = 10\)
₹5 coins: \(2 \times 10 = 20\), ₹2 coins: \(3 \times 10 = 30\), ₹1 coins: \(4 \times 10 = 40\)
