One-third of Rahul's savings in National Savings Certificate is equal to one-half of his savings in Public Provident Fund. If he has Rs. 1,50,000 as total savings, how much has he saved in Public Provident Fund?

Correct Answer: Rs. 60,000

Explanation:

Let savings in N.S.C and P.P.F. be Rs. x and Rs. (150000 - x ) respectively. Then,


1 x = 1 (150000 - x)
3 2



x + x = 75000
3 2



5x = 75000
6



x = 75000 x 6 = 90000
5


∴ Savings in Public Provident Fund = Rs. (150000 - 90000) = Rs. 60000
