Question

Divided Rs. 6000 into two parts so that simple interest on the first part for 2 years at 6% p.a. may be equal to the simple interest on the second part for 3 years at 8% p.a.

• A. Rs. 4000, Rs. 2000
• B. Rs. 5000, Rs.1000
• C. Rs. 3000, Rs. 3000
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is A Rs. 4000, Rs. 2000

Let one part be Rs. x then

$\frac{x\times 2\times 6}{100}=\frac{(600-x)\times 3\times 8}{100}$

12 x = 144000 - 24x
36x = 144000
x = 4000
