Two equal sums are lent at simple interest. The first sum is recovered in 3 years and the second sum in 6 years. The rate of interest per annum on the first sum is 2% more than that of the second sum. Find the total sum lent if the amount in each case is Rs 560.

Answer»

Rs 530
Rs 500
Rs 1480
Rs 1000

Solution :i) Let the rate of interest on the SECOND sum be `R%`.
ii) Let the sum be Rs P in each case and rate of interest on second sum be r% PER ANNUM.
III) Take `P[1+((r+2)3)/100]=p+[(rxx6)/100]=560`.
Find P and then 2P.
