Given: A box containing the denominations of fifty paise coins, one rupee coins and ten rupee coins amount to Rs 1840.

We know that:

1 Rupee = 100 paise

1 rupee = 0.01 Rupee

Calculation:

Let no. of coins of each denomination be 'a'.

Total value of coins inside the box (in paisa) = 0.5a + 1a + 10a

∴ 0.5a + 1a + 10a = 1840

⇒ 11.5a = 1840

⇒ a = 1840 ÷ 11.5

⇒ a = 160

Now, there are equal number of coins in all denominations:

So total number of ten rupee coins in the box will be ⇒ 160

Hence the correct answer is "Option 2".
