b. The total of sum and simple interest was double of the sum after 6 years.

A) Only a is sufficient B) Neither a nor b is sufficient
C) Only b is sufficient D) Both a and b sufficient

Answer:   D) Both a and b sufficient

Let the sum be Rs. x

a. gives, S.I = Rs. 9000 and time = 9 years.

b. gives, Sum + S.I for 6 years = 2 x Sum

--> Sum = S.I for 6 years.


Now, S.I for 9 years = Rs. 9000

S.I for 1 year = Rs. 9000/9 = Rs. 1000.

S.I for 6 years = Rs. (1000 x 6)= Rs. 6000.

--> x = Rs. 6000

Thus, both a and b are necessary to answer the question.
