    A 144 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 132 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 148 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D None of the above Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the number of coins of Rs. 2, Rs. 5 and Rs. 10 be 5x, 3x and 10x respectively.

    ATQ,

    Or, (5x X 2 + 3x X 5 + 10 X 10x) = 1000

    Or, 125x = 1000

    So, 'x' = 8

    Therefore, required number of coins = (5x + 3x + 10x) = 18 x 8 = 144
