Question:

X lent ₹6,000 to Y for 3 years and ₹4,000 to Z for 2 years, both at the same simple interest rate. In total, he received ₹2,000 as interest from both. What is the rate of interest per annum(nearest integer)?

X ने Y को 3 साल के लिए ₹6,000 और Z को 2 साल के लिए ₹4,000 उधार दिए, दोनों समान साधारण ब्याज दर पर। कुल मिलाकर, उसे दोनों से ब्याज के रूप में ₹2,000 प्राप्त हुए। प्रति वर्ष ब्याज दर (निकटतम पूर्णांक) क्या है?

Options:

  • a) 8%
  • b) 10%
  • c) 12%
  • d) 15%
  • a) 8%
  • b) 10%
  • c) 12%
  • d) 15%

correct answer : a)

Explanation:

Simple Interest formula: SI = (P × R × T) / 100. SI from Y = (6000 × R × 3) / 100 = 180R. SI from Z = (4000 × R × 2) / 100 = 80R. Total SI = 180R + 80R = 260R = 2000 => R = 2000 / 260 ≈ 7.69%. Nearest integer is 8%.

साधारण ब्याज सूत्र: SI = (P × R × T) / 100. Y से SI = (6000 × R × 3) / 100 = 180R. Z से SI = (4000 × R × 2) / 100 = 80R. कुल SI = 180R + 80R = 260R = 2000 => R = 2000 / 260 ≈ 7.69%. निकटतम पूर्णांक 8% है।
