Let ₹x be invested in the first instrument and ₹y be invested in the second instrument.
The interest earned in the first instrument = 0.15 * x * 4
The interest earned in the second instrument = 0.12 * y * 3
0.15 * x * 4 = 0.12 * y * 3
20 x = 12 y
x : y = 3 : 5
This means, 3/8th of the Savings was invested in the first instrument.
3/8 as a percentage is 37.5%
THE ANSWER IS 37.5%

Q1. Veeru invested Rs 10000 at 5% simple annual interest, and exactly after two years, Joy invested Rs 8000 at 10% simple annual interest. How many years after Veeru’s investment, will their balances, i.e., principal plus accumulated interest, be equal?

@neraj-naiyar Sir,
Let assume its equal after N years
Veeru’s investment after N years = 10000 + 10000 × 51005100 × N
Joy’s investment after N years = 8000 + 8000 × 1010010100 × (N – 2)
Equating both
10000 + 10000 × 51005100 × N = 8000 + 8000 × 1010010100 × (N – 2)
10000 + 500N = 8000 + 800N – 1600
3600 = 300N
N = 12

Q1. Present sum of money amounts to Rs 800 in two years and to Rs 920 in three years, then the present sum of money is
A) 420
B) 690
C) 560
D) None of the options
Neraj (TG) 21/02/2024 11:35 am
Solution: C
Now = x
At the end of 2nd year = Rs 800
At the end of 3rd year = Rs 920
So, Interest gained in one year = 120
In two years Rs 240 was gained.
So, Present money = 800 - 240 = Rs 560
