SOLUTION 1 :

Sample space, S has 240 coins which 10 fifty-paise coins, 70 one rupee coins, 30 two rupees coins and 10 five rupee coins.

n(S) = 130 + 70 + 30 + 10

       =  240.

 (i) .... Let A be the event of taking one coin which is fifty-paise coin.

n(A) = 240.

P(A) = n(A) / n(S) = 130240 = 1324

(ii) ..... Let B be the event of taking one coin which is not a five rupee coin.

n(B) = n(S) - 10

       = 240 - 10 = 230.

P(B) = n(B) / n(S) = 230240 =   2324 .
