Divide ₹10000 in two parts so that the simple interest on the first part for 4 years at 12 percent per annum may be equal to the simple interest on the second part for 4.5 years at 16 percent per annum.
Solution:
Given, ₹10000 is divided in two parts
The simple interest on the first part for 4 years at 12% per annum may be equal to the simple interest on the second part for 4.5 years at 16% per annum.
We have to find the two parts.
Let the first part be x and the second part be 10000 - x.
We know, I = P × R × T/100
According to the question,
x × 12 × 4 / 100 = (10000 - x) × 16 × 4.5 /100
x × 12 × 4 = (10000 - x) × 16 × 4.5
48x = (10000 - x) × 16 × 4.5
48x = (10000 - x) × 72
48x = 10000(72) - 72x
48x + 72x = 720000
120x = 720000
12x = 72000
x = 72000/12
x = ₹6000
Second part = 10000 - 6000 = ₹4000
Therefore, the first part is ₹6000 and the second part is ₹4000.
