Let the number of 20 paise coins = x and
           number of 25 paise coins = y
Here, the total number of coins are 50.
Therefore, x + y = 50 ..............1)
Here, Total amount = Rs. 11.25 = 1125 paise ( Since, 1Rs = 100 paise)
→ 20x + 25y = 1125
→ 4x + 5y = 225       ...............2)
After solving equation 1) and 2), we get
x = 25 and y = 25
Therefore, the number of 20 paise and 25 piase coins are 25 and 25 respectively.
