Question 15: A bag contains Rs. 187 in the form ofl rupee, 50
paise and 10 paise coins in the ratio 3:4:5. Find the number of Question 19: The incomes of A and B are in the ratio 3 :2 and
each type of coins: their expenditures in the ratio 5 : 3. If each saves Rs. 1,500, then
B’s income is:
Solution: Let x is common in the ratio
Solution: Detail Method Let x is common in the ratio.
No. of 1 Rupee ; 50 Paise and 10 Paise
∴ A’s income = 3x
Coins are 3x ; 4x and 5x
B’s income = 2x
3x×1+4x×0.50+5x×0.10=187

or 10x - 7500 = 9x - 4500 or 10x - 9x = 7500 - 4500 or x = 3000:-
∴ No. of 1 Rupee coins = 3x = 3 × 34 = 102
B’s income = 2x = 2x3000 = Rs 6000.
No. of 50 Paise coins = 4x= 4x34 = 136 Question 20: In 40 litres mixture of glycerine and water, the ratio
