Rs4,620

Rs3,360

- Let's start by using the given ratio of coins: Rs5, Rs10, and Rs20 are in the ratio of 2:3:5.

- Let the number of Rs5 coins be 2x, Rs10 coins be 3x, and Rs20 coins be 5x.

- Since there are 240 coins in total, set up the equation: 2x + 3x + 5x = 240.

- This simplifies to 10x = 240, which means x = 24.

- Therefore, the number of Rs5 coins is 48 (2x), Rs10 coins is 72 (3x), and Rs20 coins is 120 (5x).

- Calculate the total money: Rs5 coins contribute Rs240, Rs10 coins contribute Rs720, and Rs20 coins contribute Rs2,400.

- Add these amounts for the total: Rs240 + Rs720 + Rs2,400 = Rs3,360.

Option 4 - Rs3,360
