    Divide  Rs. 8000 into two parts so that the SI on the first part for 5 years at 12% per annum is equal to SI on the second part for 2 years at 18 % per annum?

    A) 2000, 6000

    C) 4000, 4000                       

    D) None of these

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Let the first part be x. Second part\[=8000-x\] We have\[\frac{x\times 5\times 12}{100}=\frac{(8000-x)\times 2\times 18}{100}\] \[5x=24000-3x\] \[8x=24000\] \[x=3000\] \[23\frac{1}{3}\] First part = Rs.3000. Second part = Rs.5000.
