Answer provided by our tutors

let


x = the number of rs.1 coins

y = the number of rs.2 coins


a money box contains rs.1 and rs.2 coins in the ratio of 5:6


x : y = 5 : 6


6x = 5y


the total value of coins in the box is rs.85


1*x + 2*y = 85


by solving the system of equations


6x = 5y

1*x + 2*y = 85


we find


x = 25 coins


y = 30 coins
