          Answer & Explanation
         Answer: C) 200, 360,160         
         
Explanation: let ratio be x.
Hence no. of coins be 5x ,9x , 4x respectively
Now given total amount = Rs.206
=> (.50)(5x) + (.25)(9x) + (.10)(4x) = 206
we get x = 40
=> No. of 50p coins = 200
=> No. of 25p coins = 360
=> No. of 10p coins = 160
