Solution

Let's denote the number of Rs 1 coins as x and the number of Rs 2 coins as y.

From the problem, we have two equations:

  1. x + y = 50 (since the total number of coins is 50)
  2. 1x + 2y = 70 (since the total value of the coins is Rs 70)

We can solve these equations step by step:

Step 1: From equation 1, we can express y in terms of x: y = 50 - x

Step 2: Substitute y in equation 2: 1x + 2(50 - x) = 70

Step 3: Simplify the equation: x + 100 - 2x = 70

Step 4: Rearrange the equation: x = 30

Step 5: Substitute x = 30 in equation 1: 30 + y = 50, which gives y = 20

So, the lady has 30 Rs 1 coins and 20 Rs 2 coins. Therefore, the answer is B30, 20.
