Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -An anna (or ānna) was a currency unit formerly used in British India, equal to 1⁄16 of a rupee. It was subdivided into four (old) Paisa or twelve pies (thus there were 192 pies in a rupee). When the rupee was decimalised and subdivided into 100 (new) paise, one anna was therefore equivalent to 6.25 paise.
Detailed explanation-2: -₹ 1, 1001935 ka 1 quarter anna india price. ₹20000.
Detailed explanation-3: -In 1957, India adopted the metric system of coinage whereby a rupee comprised 100 paise. Earlier, a rupee comprised 16 annas. With the new system coming into force, one anna consisted of 6 paise. Thus, 16 annas were equivalent to 96 paise or a rupee.
