RRB ALP 2018 CBT 2 Fitter Question Paper (21-Jan-2019) (Shift 3)
The correct answer is

20

Given:

Total coins = 60

Indian coins = ½ of total 

American coins = 1/6 of total

Calculation:

Indian coins = ½ × 60 = 30

American coins = 1/6 × 60 = 10

Indian coins + American coins = 40

Formula:

Remaining coins = Total coins - (Indian coins + American coins)

⇒ 60 - 40 = 20 coins
