    ‘x/2’ in account B. Account A gives 4% simple interest per annum while account B gives 7%. After 5 years, the total interest received is Rs. 825. What is the value of ‘x’?

    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,

    x × 0.04 × 5 + x/2 × 0.07 × 5 = 825

    0.2x + 0.175x = 825

    0.375x = 825

    x = 825 / 0.375 = 2200

    So, the value of ‘x’ is Rs. 2200
