Answer :20 paisa coins : 200
25 paisa coins : 124
Explanation:
Let the number of 20paisa coins be Y,
then number of 25paisa coins = 324-Y
0.20 * Y + 0.25 * (324 - Y) = 71
> 20Y + 25 * (324 - Y) = 7100 (Multiply both sides by 100)
> -5Y + 8100 = 7100
> 5Y = 1000
> Y = 200
So no of 20paisa coins = 200
and no of 25paisa coins = (324 - Y) = 124
