A took a certain sum as loan from bank at a rate of 8% simple interest per annum. A lends the same amount to B at 12% simple interest per annum. If at the end of five years, A made profit of Rs. 800 from the deal, how much was the original sum ?1). Rs. 6,5002). Rs. 4,0003). Rs. 6,2004). Rs. 6,000

Answer»

Solution

Let the original sum be Rs. x.
Interest A paid to bank=$\frac{x\times8\times5}{100}$.
Interest B paid to A=$\frac{x\times12\times5}{100}$.
Therefore, profit made by A=Interest B paid to A-Interest A paid to bank.
$800=\frac{20X}{100}$.
$800=\frac{x}{5}$.
$x=4000$.
Hence, OPTION B is CORRECT.
