Question
Ravi lends Rs. 4800 to two of his friends. He gives
Rs.2400 to the first at 15% p.a. simple interest. Ravi wants to make a profit of 20% on the whole. The simple interest rate at which he should lend the remaining sum of money to the second friend isSolution
Let Ravi lend the sum at x% rate to the second friend. According to the question, 15% × 2400 + x% of 2400 = 20% of 4800 ⇒ 15 × 24 + 24x = 20 × 48 ⇒ 24x = 960 – 360 ⇒ 24x = 600 ⇒ x = 25 Hence, the required rate of interest is 25% p.a.
