  • Question
  • A person divided a sum of Rs. 17,200 into three parts and invested at 5%. 6% and 9% per annum simple interest. At the end of two years, he got the same interest on each part of money. What is the money invested at 9%?


  • Options
  • A. Rs. 3,200
  • B. Rs. 4,000
  • C. Rs. 4,800
  • D. Rs. 5000

  • Correct Answer
  • Rs. 4,000 

    Explanation
    Let sum invested @ 5% be P1, @ 6% be P2 then @ 9% =17200-(P1+P2)
    So according to question
    P1*5*2/100 = P2*6*2/100 or P1 = (6/5) P2
    Also P2*6*2/100 = [17200-(P1+P2)]*9*2/100
    Or 2 P2 = [17200?(11/5)P2] * 3
    Or (2 + 33/5)P2 = 17200 * 3
    P2 = 17200 * 3 * 5 / 43 = 6000
    So P1 = 6/5 P2 = 7200
    So Sum invested @ 9% = 17200?(6000+7200) = Rs 4000
