Question : A sum of INR 36,000 is divided into two parts, A and B, such that the simple interest at the rate of 15% p.a. on A and B after two years and four years, respectively, is equal. The total interest (in INR) received from A is:

Option 1: 1,800

Option 2: 3,600

Option 3: 7,200

Option 4: 5,400

Team Careers360 11th Jan, 2024

Correct Answer: 7,200


Solution : Let the Principal for A be INR $x$.
Then principal for B = $36000 - x$
We know, Simple interest = $\frac{\text{Principal × Rate × Time}}{100}$
According to the question
$\frac{15×x×2}{100} = \frac{[(36000 – x) × 15 × 4]}{100}$
⇒ $x = 2(36000-x)$
