Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option B

< 0·50

Solution :

The correct option is ₹ 0·50.

Let's solve the problem step-by-step to find out how much more money Sangeeta needs to buy the soap.

Step 1: Calculate the total cost of the soap.
Cost of the soap = ₹ 10

Step 2: Calculate the total money Sangeeta currently has.
Sangeeta has three types of coins:
1. One five-rupee coin:
1×₹ 5=₹ 5
2. Two one-rupee coins:
2×₹ 1=₹ 2
3. Five fifty-paise coins (Note: ₹ 1 = 100 paise, so 50 paise = ₹ 0.50):
5×₹ 0.50=₹ 2.50

Now, add all these amounts together to find the total money Sangeeta has:
Total money possessed = ₹ 5 + ₹ 2 + ₹ 2.50 = ₹ 9.50

Step 3: Find out how much more money she needs.
Money required = (Cost of the soap) - (Total money Sangeeta has)
Money required=₹ 10.00-₹ 9.50=₹ 0.50

Therefore, Sangeeta needs ₹ 0·50 more to buy the soap.
