Q:

A person lends Rs. 300 to A at 4% and Rs.540 to B at 6% for the same time. if the total amount that he gets at the end is Rs. 1032. What is the time?

Answer

Money lent to A+B = (300 + 540) = Rs. 840 


Amount received = Rs. 1032 


Interest received = Rs. 1032 - Rs.840 = Rs. 192


 


Interest on Rs. 300 lent to A for 1 year = 300×1×4100 = Rs. 12 


 


Interest on Rs.540 lent to B for 1 year = 540×6×1100 = Rs. 36 


 


 


Total yearly interest = Rs.(12+36) = Rs.48 


If interest is Rs. 48, time = 1 year 


If interest is Rs. 192, time =  192/48 = 4 years
