Given: A box containing the denominations of fifty paise coins, one rupee coins, and two rupee coins amount to Rs.315. There are equal numbers of coins in all denominations.

Let the number of coins in each denomination be x.

According to the question:

0.50x + 1x + 2x = 315

3.5x = 315

x = 315 ÷ 3.5

x = 90

As there are equal numbers of coins in all denominations, the total number of coins in the box is:

Total coins = 3x = 3 × 90 = 270

Hence, "Option 1" is the correct answer.
