The coins of 1, 2, and 5 are in the ratio 3 : 5 : 4, and their total value is ₹264. What is the value of ₹2 coins?

Explanation

Let number of coins = 3x, 5x, 4x
→ Total value = 264
3x+10x+20x=33x=264x=8


2 coins = 5x = 5 × 8 = 40 coins
→ Value = 40 × 2 = 80 

So to get 66, x = 6

33x = 264 → x = 8
33x = 198 → x = 6 → 3x = 18 coins → 1 coins = 18

So likely in your example:

  • Ratio = 3:5:4

  • Total = 198

  • x = 6

  • 2 coins = 5x = 30 coins

  • Value = ₹60

So if 2 coins value = 66, x = 6.6, which is not clea
