      at the rate of (r โ€“ 1)% & (2r โ€“ 16)% respectively at simple interest. If bigger amount invested for 2 years and man gets interest in the ratio of 15:16, then what will be the smaller amount invested for how many years.

      Solution

      ATQ, we can say that Rate in Scheme โ€˜Xโ€™ = Rย  = [(2176 ร— 100)/(6800 ร— 2)]ย  = 16% Rate in Scheme โ€˜Yโ€™ =ย  R โ€“ 6 =ย  16 โ€“ 6 = 10% Then, ATQ, we can say thatย  Let small amount invested for 't' year [3 ร— 2 ร— (16 โ€“ 1)]/[2 ร— t ร— (2 ร— 16 โ€“ 16)] = 15/16 16 ร— 6 ร— 15 = 15 ร— 2t ร— 16 t = 3 year
