  1. A box contains 280 coins of onerupee, 50-paise and 25-paise. The values of each kind of the coins are in the ratio of 8 : 4 : 3. Then the number of 50-paise coins is
    1. 70
    2. 60
    3. 80
    4. 90
Correct Option: C

Ratio of the values of one rupee, 50 paise and 25 paise coins = 8 : 4 : 3
Ratio of their number = 8 : 4 × 2 : 3 × 4 = 2 : 2 : 3
Sum of ratios = 2 + 2 + 3 = 7

∴  Number of 50-paise coins =
2
× 280 = 80
7
