Answer : [B]
Explanation :
 
Let the sum invested at 9% be Rs. x and that invested at 11% be Rs. (100000 - x).
 
Then,
  x x 9 x 1  
100
+
(100000 - x) x 11 x 1
100
=
  100000 x 39 x 1  
4 100
 
 
 
 
 
  9x + 1100000 - 11x = 39000  = 9750    
100 4    
 
      2x = (1100000 - 975000) = 125000     x = 62500.  
 
      Sum invested ar 9% = Rs. 62500.  
 
      Sum invested ar 11% = Rs. (100000 - 62500) = Rs. 37500.

Answer : [C]
Explanation :
 
Let the Principal be P Rs.
 
Let the first rate of interest be r1
 
The difference in r is 5
 
5 x P x N = (Difference in interest) x 100
 
5 x P x 8 = 100 x 100
 
p = 100 x 100 = Rs. 250  
5 x 8
