Type: MCQ • Marks: 1
A sum of Rs. 2,600 is divided into two parts such that the simple interest on the first part at 10% p.a. for 5 years equals that on the second part at 9% p.a. for 6 years. Find the first part.
Options
A. 1) Rs. 1,350
B. 2) Rs. 1,200
C. 3) Rs. 1,400
D. 4) Rs. 1,250
Explanation
Let parts be x and (2600 - x).
x * 10 * 5 = (2600 - x) * 9 * 6 => 50x = 54(2600 - x) => 104x = 140400 => x = Rs. 1,350.
