Answer : 2. "45"
Explanation :

Answer: B) 45 Explanation: Let number of 20 ps coins = x and number of 25 ps coins = y Given total coins in the bag = 50 x + y = 50.......(1) But the total money in the bag = Rs. 10.25 0.20x + 0.25y = 10.25 20x + 25y = 1025.........(2) Now multiplying (1) by 25 we get 25x+25y=1250.............(3) By solving (2) and (3) 20x + 25y = 1025; => x = 45; Then, the no. of 20 ps coins are 45.
