There are (n +7) coins in the box out of which five coins can be taken out in C5   n+7 ways.
     The total value of 5 coins can be equal to or more than one rupee and fifty paise  in the following ways.
 (i) When one 50 paise coin and four 25 paise coins are chosen
 (ii) When two 50 paise coins three 25 paise coins are chosen 
 (iii) When two 50 paise coins, 2 twenty five paise coins and one from n coins of ten and five paise.
 (C1   2.C5   5.C0   n)+(C2   2.C3   5.C0   n)+(C2   2.C2   5.C1   n)            =10+10+10n=10(n+2)
        So, the number of ways of selecting five coins, so that the total value of the coins is less than one rupee and fifty paise is C5   n=710(n+2)
  Required probability =C5   n+710(n+2)C5   n+7=110(n+2)C5   n+7
