Sᴏʟᴜᴛɪᴏɴ :-
Let us Assume That, in bag , their was 8x coins of 25p , 4x coins of 50p & 2x coins of 1 Rs.
Than,
→ 8x * (25p) + 4x * (50p) + 2x * 1 = 840
→ 8x * (25/100) + 4x * (50/100) + 2x = 840
→ 8x * (1/4) + 4x * (1/2) + 2x = 840
→ 2x + 2x + 2x = 840
→ 6x = 840
→ x = 140 .
Hence,
→ Total coins = (8x + 4x + 2x) = 14x = 14*140 = 1960 (Ans.)
_______________
Verification :-
→ 8x coins of 25p = 8 * 140 * (1/4) = Rs.280
→ 4x coins of 50p = 4 * 140 * (1/2) = Rs.280
→ 2x coins of 1Rs. = 2 * 140 * 1 = Rs.280
Total Amount = 280 + 280 + 280 = Rs.840 (Verified).

Now if Given Ratio is of Value of Money , Than :-
Let Value of 25p , 50p & Rs.1 is 8x , 4x & 2x.
→ Total value = 8x + 4x + 2x = 14x
So,
→ 14x = 840
→ x = Rs.60
Therefore,
→ Value of 25p = 8x = 8*60 = Rs.480
→ value of 50p = 4x = 4*60 = Rs.240
→ value of Rs.1 = 2x = 2*60 = Rs.120
Hence,
→ Total Coins of 25p = 480 * 4 = 1920
→ Total Coins of 50p = 240 * 2 = 480
→ Total Coins of Rs.1 = 120 * 1 = 120
→ Total number of coins = 1920+480+120 = 2520 coins (Ans.)

Answer:-
Let the Values of 25 P coins , 50 P , Rs. 1 coins be 8x , 4x , 2x and number of 25P coins be 25a , 50 P coins be 50b and 100 P (Rs. 1) Coins be 100c.
According to the question,
8x + 4x + 2x = 840
→ 14x = 840
→ x = 840/14
→ x = Rs. 60
Hence,
Value of 25 P coins = 8*60 = Rs. 480
→ 25a = 480 * 100 P
→ a = 480*100/25
→ a = 1920
→ Number of 25 P coins ( a ) = 1920
Value of 50 P coins = 4 * 60 = Rs. 240
→ 50b = 240* 100 P
→ b = 240*100/50
→ b = 480
→ Number of 50 P coins = 480
Value of 100 P coins = 2* 60 = Rs. 120
→ 100c = 120 * 100
→ c = 120 * 100/100
→ c = 120
→ Number of Rs. 1 Coins = 120
Total number of coins = 1920 + 480 + 120 = 2520.
Therefore, there are 2520 coins in the bag.
