    Anjali puts Rs. 'a' in plan A and Rs. (a + 300) in plan B,

    both for 5 years. Plan A gives 9% and plan B offers 6% simple interest. The total interest she earns from both is Rs. 2,700. Find the value of 'a'.
    A 2520 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 3350 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 1576 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 3480 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,
    Simple interest = Principal × Rate × Time ÷ 100

    ATQ,

    a × 9 × 5 ÷ 100 + (a + 300) × 6 × 5 ÷ 100 = 2700

    → 0.45a + 0.3a + 90 = 2700

    → 0.75a = 2700 - 90 = 2610

    → a = 2610 ÷ 0.75 = 3480
