Q:

A sum of Rs.1550 was lent 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	B) 6:7
C) 16:15	D) 17:18

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 16:15

Explanation:

let the sum lent at 5% be Rs.x and that lent at 8% be Rs.(1550-x). then,

Interest on x at 5% for 3 years + interest on (1550-x) at 8% for 3 years = 300

$\frac{x * 5 * 3}{100} + \frac{(1500 - x) * 8 * 3}{100} = 300$

x=800

Required ratio = x : (1550-x) = 800 : (1550-800) = 800 : 750 = 16 : 15
