Question

A man lent rs. 2000 - partly at 5% and the balance at 4%. If he receives rs. 92 towards annual interest, find the amount lent at 5%.

Answer 1

Answer:-He lead at 5%---> Rs 51.12

Answer 2

Given:

Total Amount lent  = 2000 Rs

Interest rate = 5% and 4%

Annual Interest = 92

To Find:

Amount lent at 5%.

Solution:

• Let x Rs be the amount lent at 5%.

• Then 2000-x Rs will be lent at 4%.
• Total Interest = 92 Rs

Therefore,

We can see that 5%(x) and 4%(2000-x) add up to give the total interest.

• x (5%) + (2000-x)4% = 92
• 5x + 8000 - 4x = 9200
• x = 9200 - 8000
• x = 1200 Rs.

The amount lent at 5% is 1200Rs.
