Answer provided by our tutors

let


x = the number of 25 paisa coins

y = the number of 50 paisa coins


bag contains 25 paisa and 50 paisa coins whose total value =2400


25x + 50y = 2400


the number of 25 paisa coin is 4 times that of 50 paisa coins


x = 4y


by solving the system of equations


25x + 50y = 2400

x = 4y


we find


x = 64


y = 16
