      Question

      Hitesh divided Rs. 20,100 into two portions. He invested

      the first portion at 6% simple interest per annum for 5 years, and the second portion at 20% simple interest per annum for 5 years. If the simple interest earned on the first portion is 4/9 times of the simple interest earned on the second portion, what is the amount of the second portion?
      A Rs 6300 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Rs 9000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Rs 5400 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Rs 7200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      E Rs 8100 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let first part = Rs. (20100 - x) and second part = Rs. x
      SI on first part = (20100 - x) * 6 * 5/100
      And SI on second part = x * 20 * 5/100
      (20100 - x) * 6 * 5/100 = 4/9 * x * 20 * 5/100
      => 27(20100 - x) = 40x
      => 542700 - 27x = 40x
      => x = 542700 / 67
      => x = Rs. 8100
