A certain amount is split equally between two investment

ATQ,
Let the amount invested in each scheme be Rs. 'P'. Let the annual interest rate be 'r%' p.a. Simple interest for 2 years = Rs. 640 So, SI per year = 640 ÷ 2 = Rs. 320 Since both interests match in the first year, CI for 1st year = Rs. 320 CI in 2nd year = 688 - 320 = Rs. 368 Now, this extra Rs. 48 is the interest on Rs. 320 for 1 year. 320 × r × 1 / 100 = 368 - 320 = 48 ⇒ r = (48 × 100) ÷ 320 = 15% Hence, Rate of Interest = 15%
