A sum of Rs. 5200 is lent out in two parts in such a way that the interest on one part at 10% for 5 years is equal to that on the other part at 9% for 6 years. The sum lent out at 9% is ?

Now formula for simple interest can be given as

⇒ SI = (P × T × R)/100

Where,

SI = Simple Interest

P = Principal amount

T = Time Period

R = Rate of Interest

Let the principal lent at 10% be X, therefore the principal lent at 9% will be (5200 - X)

Now,

Interest on principal lent at 10% for 5 years = Interest on principal lent at 9% for 6 years

⇒ X × 5 × 10/100 = (5200 - X) × 6 × 9/100

⇒ 50X =280800 - 54X

⇒ 104X = 280800

⇒ X = Rs. 2700

∴ The amount of Rs. 2700 is lent at 10%

⇒ The amount lent at 9% = 5200 - X = 5200 - 2700 = Rs. 2500

• Nidhi received simple interest off Rs. 1200 when invested Rs x at 6% p.a. and Rs y at 5% p.a. for 1 year. Had she invested Rs. x at 3% p.a. and Rs. y at 8% for that year, she would have received simple interest of Rs 1,260. Find the values Rs. x an y.
• A and B can complete a piece of work in 80 and 120 days respectively. They together start the work but A left after 20 days. After another 12 days C joined B and now they complete the work in 28 more days. In how many days C can complete the work, working
• The letters A, B, C, D, E, F and G not necessarily in that order, stand for seven consecutive integers from 1 to 10, D is 3 less than A, B is the middle term. F is as much less than B as C is greater than D, G is greater than F.
• Two towns P & Q are 275 km apart. A motorcycle rider starts from P towards Q at 8 a.m. at the speed of 25 km/hr. Another rider starts from Q towards P at 9 a.m. at the speed of 20 km/hr. Find at what time they will cross each other?
