In a cash box, there are equal number of 10 paisa, 25 paisa and 50 paisa coins. If it contains Tk. 170, then what is the number of 10 paisa coin? Correct Answer 200

Let's assume that there are 'x' coins of each denomination (10 paisa, 25 paisa, and 50 paisa) in the cash box.The value of x 10 paisa coins = 0.10x TkThe value of x 25 paisa coins = 0.25x Tk The value of x 50 paisa coins = 0.50x TkSo we can write an equation as:0.10x + 0.25x + 0.50x = 170Simplifying this equation, we get:0.85x = 170Dividing both sides by 0.85, we get:x = 200Therefore, there are 200 coins of each denomination in the cash box, and the number of 10 paisa coins is also 200.
