    Solution

    ATQ, Let the sum borrowed by A be x and by B be y Interest paid by A = [I ├Ч A] = x ├Ч 4 ├Ч (5/100) and Interest paid by B = [I ├Ч B]= y ├Ч 5 ├Ч (4/100) Since interest paid by A is double that of B's; [I ├Ч A] = 2(I ├Ч B) =>тАЛ (x/5) = (2y/5) =>тАЛ x = 2y x + y =30000 =>тАЛ тАЛ2y + y = 30000┬а =>тАЛ y = 10000. Therefore, x = 20,000 Sum borrowed by A is Rs.20000
