Answer:
21 coins of ₹2
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the number of ₹2 coins, and y the number of ₹5 coins. Then the total value of the coins is ...
2x +5y = 77
and the relationship between numbers of coins is ...
x = 3y
Substituting for x, we have ...
2(3y) +5y = 77
y = 77/11 = 7 . . . . simplify, divide by the coefficient of y
x = 3(7) = 21 . . . . find x from the second equation
Ram has 21 of the ₹2 coins.
