Answer 1

Ratio of 5 paise to 25 paise is the same as the ratio of 20 paise to 100 paise.

Explanation:

Ratio of 5 paise to 25 paise is same as the ratio of 20 paise to x (let).

`(5  "paise")/(25  "paise") = (20  "paise")/x`

⇒ `5/25 = 20/x`

⇒ 5 × x = 25 × 20

⇒ `x = (25 xx 20)/5`  ...[By cross-multiplication]

⇒ x = 100

= 100 paise or ₹ 1
