Detailed Solution

Concept- Forming an equation where we will transform the above condition into linear equation with variable  x. We will consider 100 paise=1 Rs.
The ratio of coins in bag is given by,
4:5:6 
Which totals 120 coins.
In equation form,
4x+5x+6x=120
We are given 120 total coins which contain denominations of 1Re, 50 paise and 25 paise. Transforming these into whole rupee, we will get,
1Rs 4x
50 paise 5x2
25 paise 6x2
The ratio of coins in bag in rupee denominations is given by,
4x+5x2+6x4=120
16x+10x+6x4=120
x=48032=15
Therefore,
No. of 1 Re coin=4×15=60 coins
No. 050 paise coin=5×15=75 coins
No. of 25 paise coin=6×15=90 coins
Hence, the correct option is 4) None of these
