    21.6 %
    খ)
    15.3 %
    গ)
    14.6 %
    ঘ)
    12.5 %

    Explanation

    Total money = Rs.[600*(25 ÷\div 100)+1200 ×\times (50 ÷\div 100)]= Rs. 750. 25 paise coins removed = Rs. (600 ×\times 12 ÷\div 100) = 72. 50 paise coins removed = Rs. (1200 ×\times 24 ÷\div 100)= 288. Money removed =Rs.(72 ×\times 25 ÷\div 100+288*50 ÷\div 100)  = Rs.162. Required percentage = (162 ÷\div 750 ×\times 100)% = 21.6 %.
