Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 135200, 125000

Given:

Loan amount = Rs. 2,60,200

Rate of interest = 4% pa

Formula used:

Amount = Principal × [1 + r/100]n 

Calculations:

Let the first part be x

The second part = (260200 – x)

According to the question,

x(1 + 4/100)7 = (260200 – x)(1 + 4/100)9

⇒ x/(260200 – x) = (1 + 4/100)9/(1 + 4/100)7

⇒ x/(260200 – x) = 26/25 × 26/25

⇒ x/(260200 – x) = 676/625

⇒ 625x = 676 × 260200 – 676x

⇒ 1301x = 676 × 260200

⇒ x = (676 × 260200)/1301

⇒ x = 135200

Second part = 260200 – x

⇒ 260200 – 135200

⇒ 125000

∴ the two parts are 135200 and 125000.
