A bag contains some one-rupee coins and some fifty-paisa coins. The total amount is ₹ 140. If half of the one-rupee coins are replaced by fifty-paisa coins, then the amount becomes ₹ 115. The coins of each type in the bag initially, were :
one-rupee coins = 100 and fifty-paisa coins = 80
one-rupee coins = 80 and fifty-paisa coins = 100
one-rupee coins = 110 and fifty-paisa coins = 80
one-rupee coins = 70 and fifty-paisa coins = 90

Answer
Let x be the number of one rupee coins and y be the number of 50 paisa coins in the bag initially.
Given,
Initial total amount = ₹ 140.
⇒ x + 0.5y = 140
⇒ x = 140 - 0.5y …….(1)
Given,
After replacing half of the 1-rupee coins with 50-paisa coins, the amount becomes ₹ 115.
⇒ + 0.5y + 0.5 = 115
⇒ 0.5x + 0.5y + 0.25x = 115
⇒ 0.75x + 0.5y = 115 ……..(2)
Substituting value of x from equation (1) in (2), we get :
⇒ 0.75(140 - 0.5y) + 0.5y = 115
⇒ 105 - 0.375y + 0.5y = 115
⇒ 0.125y = 115 - 105
⇒ 0.125y = 10
⇒ y = = 80.
Substituting value of y in equation (1), we get :
⇒ x = 140 - 0.5y
⇒ x = 140 - 0.5(80)
⇒ x = 140 - 40
⇒ x = 100.
∴ Number of one rupee coins = 100 and number of fifty paisa coins = 80.
Hence, option 1 is the correct option.

X takes 3 hours more than Y to walk a distance of 30 km, but if X doubles his race, he is able to be ahead of Y by hours, then the speed of their walking will be :
X’s speed = km/hr, Y’s speed = 5 km/hr
X’s speed = 5 km/hr, Y’s speed = km/hr
X’s speed = 10 km/hr, Y’s speed = km/hr
X’s speed = km/hr, Y’s speed = 10 km/hr
