Two equal sums of money were lent at simple interest at 10% per annum for 4 yr and 5 yr, respectively. If the difference in interest for two period was ₹ 220, then each sum is?

Question

Accepted Answer

Let each sum be ₹ P then,
(P x 10 x 5)/100 - (P x 10 x 4)/100 = 220
⇒ P/10 = 220
∴ P = 2200
Hence, each sum is ₹ 2200.
