What will approach to solve that

Question:

DIRECTIONS: These questions are based on the information given below.


Three persons Ram, Shyam and Mohan have \(\unicode{x20B9} \)32, \(\unicode{x20B9} \)43 and \(\unicode{x20B9} \)46 with them respectively. Each of them has only coins of denominations \(\unicode{x20B9} \)1, \(\unicode{x20B9} \)2, and \(\unicode{x20B9} \)5. The number of coins with any of them of any denomination is a distinct single digit natural number i.e. these will he nine distinct single digit natural numbers (or nine possible combinations of person and denomination). Further, the number of \(\unicode{x20B9} \)2 coins with Ram is six less than the number of \(\unicode{x20B9} \)1 coins Mohan.

How many ₹5 coins are there with Ram, Shyam and Mohan altogether.

Options:
A) 12
B) 16
C) 10
D) 21
E) Can't be determined
Solution:
Given that, the number of ₹2 cons with Ram is six less than that of ₹1 coins with Mohan. Let us look at the possibilities.

In this case, the number of ₹5 coins with Mohan has to be an odd number. But for any of the three possible values of 5, I or 9, there will be repetitions. Similarly, no arrangement is possible for the values of 3 and 9 also. The only possible arrangement is.
