Save

A man invests Rs. 10,000 for a year, out of which Rs. 4000 are invested at the rate of 5%, Rs. 3500 at the rate of 4% and the remaining at the rate of x%. If at the end of the year, he gets Rs. 500 as interest, then find the value of x.

Detailed Solution for Test: Simple & Compound Interest (February 26) - Question 3

The problem can be solved by using the formula for simple interest:

We need to put the value of each principle amount at a different rate of interest as each of them is invested for a year:
SI = Rs. 500
So, 
⇒ 50,000 = 20,000 + 14,000 + 2500x
⇒ 16,000 = 2500x
⇒ 
⇒ x = 6.4
This is correct answer.

A sum of Rs. 4000 was lent partly at 6% and partly at 8% simple interest. If the interest received after one year is Rs. 272, find the ratio in which the money was lent, respectively.
Detailed Solution for Test: Simple & Compound Interest (February 26) - Question 4

Suppose, Rs. x be lent at 6% and Rs. (4000 – x) at 8%.
Then,

6x + 32000 – 8x = 27200
2x = 32000 – 27200 = 4800
x = Rs. 2400
Thus, the two parts are Rs. 2400 and Rs. 1600.
So, required ratio = = 3 : 2
