Kunal has only 25 paise and 50 paise coins with him. The total amount in 50 paise denomination is Rs 4 more than the total amount in 25 paise denomination. The no. of 25 paise coins is 20 more than the number of 50 paise coins. What s the total amount with kunal?
31?

Yup, 25 is correct.

Three cases:-
i) No diagonal movement, three east steps and 2 north
C(5, 2) = 10 ways

ii) One diagonal movement, so 1 NE step, 2 east step and 1 north step
4!/(1!1!2!) = 12 ways

iii) Two diagonal movements, so 2 NE steps, 1 east step
3!/(1!2!) = 3 ways

Total = 25

Another question in the attachement

6!/2! = 360 PS: Please check the question again. I don't think the question is correct. From the options I think the question should be 6999999>n>6000000. (I may be wrong though)
OA IS 540..

it seemed weird to me as well, hence posted..IIFT qs, it is

it is an IIFT question and one digit '4' is missing in it.

i mentioned 4..is it twice?

yes
A simple one :A couple has two children. The probability that the first child is a girl, is 50%. The probability that the second child is a girl, is also 50%. They tell you that they have a daughter. What is the probability that their other child is also a girl ?

Possible cases
DD -> prob. = 1/2
SD -> prob. = 1/2
DS -> prob. = 1/2

Required probability = (1/2)/(3/2) = 1/3

DD=>1/2*1/2 =1/4 ? same for others ...isn't?
Though ans wont change

No.. one of their children is a daughter.. this is given.. so that probability is not included...
@kingsleyx
2) answer is cannot be determined
1) is 282.75
