    Question

    P deposits ₹(A - 10,000) in a bank at an interest rate of

    10% per annum, compounded half-yearly, for 1 year. Meanwhile, Q invests ₹(A + 15,000) in the same bank at an interest rate of 12% per annum, compounded annually, for 2 years. If the total interest earned by both P and Q together amounts to ₹9,929, find the value of A.
    A Rs 20000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs 17500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs 18760 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs 24400 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    (A - 10000)*[(1 + 10/200) 2  - 1] + (A + 15000)*[(1 + 12/100) 2  -1] = 9929
    41/400 * (A - 10000) + 159/625 * (A + 15000) = 9929
    3569A/10000 = 9929 + 1025 - 3816
    A = ₹20000
