- Atul purchased bread for Rs20 and paid with a Rs100 note.

- The change given by the shopkeeper should be Rs80.

- Coins are given in the ratio 5:4:1, which corresponds to Rs2, Rs5, and Rs10 coins respectively.

- Let the number of Rs2 coins be 5x, Rs5 coins be 4x, and Rs10 coins be x.

- The equation for the total amount is: $5 x \times 2 + 4 x \times 5 + x \times 10 = 80$ .

- Solving gives $10 x + 20 x + 10 x = 80$ , simplifying to $40 x = 80$ , so $x = 2$ .

- Number of Rs5 coins is $4 x = 8$ .

- Option 1: 5 – Not correct.

- Option 2: 6 – Not correct.

- Option 3: 8 – Correct.

- Option 4: 4 – Not correct.
