SSC CGL 16th August 2021 Shift-2
Explanation:
- Hridaya has a mix of Rs1, Rs2, Rs5, and Rs10 coins in her piggy bank.
- The ratio of the coins is 10:5:2:1.
- Total number of coins is 72.
To find out the number of each type of coin:
- Total ratio parts = 10 + 5 + 2 + 1 = 18
- Each part represents \(72/18 = 4\) coins.
Calculating each type:
- Rs1 coins = \(10 \times 4 = 40\)
- Rs2 coins = \(5 \times 4 = 20\)
- Rs5 coins = \(2 \times 4 = 8\)
- Rs10 coins = \(1 \times 4 = 4\)
Now calculating the total money:
- Total money = \(40 \times 1 + 20 \times 2 + 8 \times 5 + 4 \times 10\)
- = Rs40 + Rs40 + Rs40 + Rs40 = Rs160
Correct Answer: Option 3 - 160
