Find the difference between the amount earned by Gaurav and Monil from the silver coin transaction. Correct Answer Rs. 5040

Total number of coins = 1500 coins

Number of gold coins = (5/12) × 1500 = 625 coins

Number of silver coins = 1500 - 625 = 875 coins

Silver coins earned by Monil = × 875 = (12/25) × 875 = 420 coins

Silver coins earned by Gaurav = × 875 = (6/25) × 875 = 210 coins

Number of coins sold = (40% of 420) + (40% of 210) = (0.4 × 420) + (0.4 × 210)

⇒ (168 + 84) = 252 coins

Amount earn by selling the coins = (500 × 252) = Rs.126000

Part of amount earned Gaurav = (13/25) × 126000 = Rs.65520

Part of amount earned  Monil = (12/25) × 126000 = Rs.60480

∴ Required difference = Amount earn by Gaurav - Amount earn by  Monil = 65520 - 60480

= Rs.5040
