Detailed Solution

Given,
A bag contains 25 paise and 50 paise coins whose total value is Rs.30.
Suppose total 50 paise coins = x
Thus, total 25 Paise coins = 4x
Now, value of coin in bag = Rs. 30 = 3000 paise           (since Rs. 1 = 100 paise)
Thus, from given condition,
254x+50x=3000
100x+50x=3000 
150x=3000 
x=3000150
x=20 
So, 50 paise coins, x=20
Also, 25 paise coins,
4x=420
4x=80
Thus,
50 paise coins = 20, 25 paise coins = 80
Hence, option 4 is correct.
