• let ratio is 2x:3x:5x
  take one rupee=1
  50 paise=1/2
  25 paise=1/4
  so 1*2*x +3 *x*(1/2) + 5*x*(1/4) =114
  =>19x=456
  =>x=24
  now.....value of 50 paise coins is=3*x*(1/2)
  =(3*24)/2
  =36

• Option 4 is correct
  1 rupee -->2
  50 paise --->3 thats is 1.50
  25 paise --->5 =1.25
  2x+1.50x+1.25x=114
  4.75x=114
  x=24
  The value of 50 paise coins is 24*3=72

• ratio is 2x:3x:5x
  one rupee=1
  50 paise=1/2
  25 paise=1/4
  then
  1*2*x +3 *x*(1/2) + 5*x*(1/4) =114
  2x+1.5x+1.25x=114
  4.75x=114
  x=24
  s0
  50 paise coin from ratio
  3x=3*24=72

• 2x:3x:5x
  100:50:25
  2x*100: 3x*50: 5x*25
  200x:150x:125x
  8x: 6X:5x
  Value of 50 paise coins=6/19*114

• We have 1 rs , 50-paise= 1/2rs and 25-paise= 1/4rs
  ratio 2 : 3 : 5.
  total value rs. 114.
  
  let there be x one rs coins, so , 50p and 25 p can be expressed in its terms , isnt ?
  
  2* 1*x + 1/2*x*3 + 1/4*x* 5 = 114
  
  on solving we will get : 19x/4= 114
  
  so, for value of 50 paise, = 1/2*(3* x) put x and solve , you will get = 36

• First convert all coins in same unit(rupees)
  1rs has ratio 2
  50 paise should have ratio 3/2
  25 paise should have ratio 5/4
  Now,
  Total is 2+3/2+5/4= 19/4
  To get 50 paise coins...
  3/2 * 4/19 * 114 =36 ans.
