Solution

Let's denote the number of 20 paise coins as x and the number of 25 paise coins as y.

From the problem, we know that:

  1. The total number of coins is 324, so x + y = 324.
  2. The total sum is Rs. 71. Since 1 Rupee = 100 paise, the total sum is 7100 paise. Therefore, 20x + 25y = 7100.

Now we can solve this system of equations step by step.

Step 1: Multiply the first equation by 20: 20x + 20y = 6480. Step 2: Subtract the first equation from the second: 5y = 620. Step 3: Solve for y: y = 620 / 5 = 124.

So, the number of 25 paise coins is 124. Therefore, the answer is (a) 124.
