    A) 400                              

    B) 465

    C) 490                              

    D) 520

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Volume of silver coins \[=\pi \times {{\left( \frac{1.75}{2} \right)}^{2}}\times \frac{2}{10}\] \[=0.48125\,\,c{{m}^{3}}\] \[=5.5\times 10\times 3.5\] \[=192.5\,\,c{{m}^{3}}\] \[\therefore \] Number of silver coins \[=\frac{192.5}{0.48125}\] \[=400\]
