Let the rate of interest per annum be r% then time (T) = r years
 
          100 x 4  x  
 
 R = 100 x I
 
 r = 25  
P x T x x r

Answer : [C]
Explanation :
 
Let the sum lent at 10% be Rs. x and that lent at 9% be Rs. (2600 - x). Then,
 
  x x 10 x 5   = (2600 - x) x 9 x 6    
100 100    
 
   50x = (2600 x 54) - 54x    
 
 x =   2600 x 54    = 1350.

   Sum lent at 10% = Rs. 1350
