Annual Rate of Interest Offered by Two Finance Companies Over the Years.

Q1: 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?

A Rs. 9 lakhs

B Rs. 11 lakhs

C Rs. 12 lakhs

D Rs. 18 lakhs

ANS:D - Rs. 18 lakhs

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 ) ] lakhs.
100
Therefore [ 2.7 - ( 1.5x ) ] = 2.43     =>     x = 18.
