Answer» Answer: There are 18 , 25-paise coins and 12 , 10-paise coins Step-by-step explanation: let the no. of 25paise coins = X and no. of 10 paise coins = y given, x + y = 30 -------------- (1) => y = 30-x ----------(2) also given, 25X + 10y = 570 (paise) => 25x + 10(30-x) = 570 => 25x + 300 - 10x = 570 => 15x = 570-300 => 15x = 270 => x = 270/15 => x = 18 so, (2) => y = 30-18 => y = 12 verification, 25(18) + 10(12) = 450 + 120 = 570 paise = Rs. 5.70 hence verified |
