    Answer : Option C

    Explanation :

    ATQ, if the ratio of coins = 4: 6: 9
    That means if Rs 5 coins are 4, Rs 2 coins are 6, and then Rs 1 coins are 9.

    According to the given ratio, the ratio of amounts = 5*4: 6*2: 9*1 = 20: 12: 9
    The sum of the ratios of the amounts = 20+12+9 = Rs 41
    But ATQ, it is Rs 410, which means multiply each ratio by 10
    i.e., new ratio = 40: 60: 90
    Now, 40*5: 60*2: 90*1 = 200: 120: 90

    The total amount in the form of two rupees coins = 120
    So, the two rupees coins = 120/2= 60
