Option 1: 11:14
Option 2: 11 : 13
Option 3: 14 : 11
Option 4: 13 : 11
Correct Answer: 14 : 11
Solution :
Let the first part of the sum as
Given that the simple interest on the first part is double the simple interest on the second part.
The second part of the sum = 5000 – 2200 = 2800
So, the ratio of the second part to the first part = 2800 : 2200 = 14 : 11
Hence, the correct answer is 14 : 11.
