उत्तर
Total number of coins = 100 + 50 + 20 + 10 = 180
So, the total number of outcomes is 180.
A coin of value more than ₹1 can be ₹2 or ₹5 coin.
Number of ₹2 or ₹5 coins = 20 + 10 = 30
So, the favourable number of outcomes are 30.
∴ P(the coin which fell has value more than ₹1 ) = \[\frac{\text{ Favourable number of outcomes }}{\text{ Total number of outcomes }} = \frac{30}{180} = \frac{1}{6}\]
