1. The simple interest on a sum of money is 25/49 of the principal. Find the rate percent and time, if both are numerically equal.
Solution:
Let the sum be x.
T = R and S.I = (25/49)x [Given]
S.I = PTR/100
(25/49)x =(x*R*R)/100
25*100/49 = R2
R = 5*10/7
R = 7(1/7)*
T = 7 Years 2 months approximately.
2. A sum of 1500 is lent out into 2 parts, one at 6% and another one at 2%. If the total annual income is 50, find the money lent at each rate.
Solution:
Let the sum lent at 2 parts be x and 1500-x.
S.I = PTR/100
50 = x*1*6/100 + (1500-x)*1*2/100
5000 = 6x+3000-2x
4x = 2000
x = 500.
1500-x = 1000.
The money lent at each rate are 500 and 1000.
