- Let’s break down the information: the ratio of Rs1, Rs2, and Rs5 coins is 5 : 10 : 6.

- Let's call the common multiplier "x."

- The number of Rs1 coins = 5x, Rs2 coins = 10x, and Rs5 coins = 6x.

- Calculate the total amount: Rs1 coins contribute Rs5x, Rs2 coins contribute Rs20x (2 * 10x), and Rs5 coins contribute Rs30x (5 * 6x).

- Total equation: 5x + 20x + 30x = 275

- Combined, this is: 55x = 275

- Solve for x: x = 275 / 55 = 5

- Coins of Rs5 = 6x = 6 * 5 = 30

Correct Answer: Option 1 - 30
