Answer : [D]
Explanation :
 
Let the parts be x, y and [2600 – (x + y)]. Then,
 
x x 4 x 1
100
=
y x 6 x 1
100
=
[2600 - (x + y)] x 8 x 1
100
 
 
 
 
y
x
=
4
6
=
2
3
 or y =
2
3
 x  
 
So,
x x 4 x 1
100
=
  2600 -
5
3
 x    x 8
100
       
 
 
  4x =
(7800 - 5x) x 8
3
   
 
 
  52x = (7800 x 8)      
 
 
  x =  
7800 x 8
52
   = 1200  
 
 
  Money invested at 4% = Rs. 1200.

Answer : [A]
Explanation :
 
Let the sum invested in Scheme A be Rs. x and that in Scheme B be Rs. (13900 – x).
 
Then,  
x x 14 x 2
100
  +  
(13900 - x) x 11 x 2
100
   = 3508  
 
 
  28x - 22x = 350800 - (13900 x 22)  
 
 
  6x = 45000  
 
 
  x = 7500  
 
So, sum invested in Scheme B = Rs. (13900 – 7500) = Rs. 6400.

A sum of Rs. 1550 was lent partly at 5% and partly at 8% p.a. simple interest. The total interest received after 3 years was Rs. 300. The ratio of the money lent at 5% to that lent at 8% is:
  • A.
    5 : 8
  • C.
    16 : 15
  • B.
    8 : 5
  • D.
    31 : 6
  • Answer & Explanation

Answer : [C]
Explanation :
 
Let the sum lent at 5% be Rs. x and that lent at 8% be Rs. (1550 – x). Then,
 
Then,  
x x 5 x 3
100
  +  
(1550 - x) x 8 x 3
100
   = 300  
 
 
  15x - 24x + (1550 x 24) = 30000  
 
 
  9x = 7200  
 
 
  x = 800  
 
 
  Required ratio = 800 : 750 = 16 : 15

Answer : [A]
Explanation :
 
Let x, y and z be the amounts invested in schemes A, B and C respectively. Then,
 
 
x x 10 x 1
100
  +  
y x 12 x 1
100
  +  
z x 15 x 1
100
    = 3200    
 
 
  10x + 12y + 15z = 320000 ...(i)    
 
Now, z = 240% of y =
12
5
 y ...(ii)  
 
And, z = 150% of x =
3
2
 x
 
x =
2
3
 z =  
2
3
x
12
5
   y =
8
5
 y ...(iii)    
 
From (i), (ii) and (iii), we have :
 
 
  16y + 12y + 36y = 320000  
 
 
  64y = 320000  
 
 
  y = 5000  
 
 
  Sum invested in Scheme B = Rs. 5000.
