Question 1
A certain amount is split into two parts. The first part is invested at 8% p.a. and the second at 5% p.a. What is the total amount if the total simple interest at the end of 3 years is Rs. 357, and if the amount invested at 8% is Rs. 1800?
Rs. 1300.
Rs. 1400.
Rs. 1200.
Rs. 1500.
Ans: a
Let the amount x be invested at r1% and remaining (P - x) at r2%, and let the sum of interests be I. Then, I = ${x × r_1 × 3}/100$ + ${(P - x) × r_2 × 3}/100$, which simplifies to 100I = 3 × ($x × (r_1 - r_2) + P × r_2$). Putting r1 = 8, r2 = 5, x = 1800, I = 357, we get P = Rs. 1300.
Question 2
The difference between simple interests on an amount @9% for 15 years and at 6% for 12 years is Rs. 189. What is the amount?
Question 3
An amount of Rs. 1000 is split into two parts. The first part is invested @2% for 3 years, and the second @10% for 6 years. What is the ratio of the first part is to the second part if they yield the same amount of simple interest?
10.
$10{1/6}$.
$9{5/6}$.
$10{1/3}$.
Ans: a
Let the amounts be x and y. We have x × r1 × t1 = y × r2 × t2. We can see that x : y is same as r2t2 : r1t1. The ratio is (10 × 6) : (2 × 3) = 60 : 6, or same as 10. Please note that the answer is independent of the value of the total amount.
