465 coins consist of one-rupee, 50-paise and 25 paise coins. Their values are in the ratio 5:3:1. Find the number of each type of coins respectively is

• 465 coins consist of 1 rupee, 50 paise and 25 paise coins.
  Their values are in the ratio 5 : 3 : 1.
  The number of each type of coins respectively is
  
  Let 1 re coin = x, 50p coin =y, 25p coin = z,
  x + y + z = 465 and 4x : 2y : z = 5 : 3 : 1 This is the value ratio.
  4x : 2y = 5 : 3
  12x = 10y
  x/y = 5/6
  2y : z = 3 : 1
  2y = 3z
  y/z = 3/2
  x : y : z = 5 : 6 : 4 = 31(5 : 6 : 4)
  Solving x = 155, y = 186, z = 124 coins
  
  Answer:
  155,186,124 numbers of 1 re, 50 paise and 25 paise coins.

• let 1 re coin=x, 50p coin=y, 25p coin=z. x+y+z=465 and 4x:2y:z=5:3:1 this is the value ratio. Solving x=155, y=186, z=123 coins.
