A) 6 yrs B) 4 yrs
C) 8 yrs D) 2 yrs

After four years their ratio = 6 : 7

=> 5p + 46p + 4 = 67

A) Rs. 800 B) Rs. 620

Total amount he paid after 5 years = Rs. 1280

ATQ, 

P + I = PTR100 + P1280 = PTR100 + 11280 = P5 x 12100 + 116P10 = 1280P = 80 x 10 = 800

 

Hence, the amount he borrowed = P = Rs. 800.
