Check answer and explanation

Answer: 240

Explanation Given ratio: 50 paisa:1 rupee:2 rupee = 2:5:8 Let's assume the number of coins of each denomination are: 50 paisa = 2x 1 rupee = 5x 2 rupee = 8x Total amount = Rs. 352 The value of coins is: 50 paisa coins = 2x * 0.50 = Rs. x 1 rupee coins = 5x * 1.00 = Rs. 5x 2 rupee coins = 8x * 2.00 = Rs. 16x Adding these values, we get: x + 5x + 16x = 352 Combine like terms: 22x = 352 Divide by 22: x = 16 Now, find the total number of coins: 50 paisa coins = 2x = 2(16) = 32 1 rupee coins = 5x = 5(16) = 80 2 rupee coins = 8x = 8(16) = 128 Total number of coins = 32 + 80 + 128 = 240 So, the correct answer is: 240
