Annual Rate of Interest Offered by Two Finance Companies Over the Years.
In 2000, a part of Rs. 30 lakhs was invested in Company P and the rest was invested in Company Q for one year. The total interest received was Rs. 2.43 lakhs. What was the amount invested in Company P?
Rs. 9 lakhs
Rs. 11 lakhs
Rs. 12 lakhs
Rs. 18 lakhs
Correct answer is D
Let Rs. x lakhs be invested in Company P in 2000, the amount invested in Company Q in 2000 = Rs. (30 - x) lakhs.
Total interest received from the two Companies after 1 year
= Rs. [(7.5% of x) + {9% of (30 - x)}] lakhs
= Rs. [ 2.7 - ( 1.5x/100 ) ] lakhs.
Therefore [ 2.7 - ( 1.5x/100 ) ] = 2.43 => x = 18.
