    Mohan lent some amount of money at 9% simple interest and an equal amount of money at 10% simple interest each for two years. If his total interest was Rs. 760, what amount was lent in each case?

    A) Rs. 1700

    B)  Rs. 1800

    C)  Rs. 1900

    D)  Rs. 2000

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Let the sum lent in each case be Rs. x. Then,    \[\frac{x\times 9\times 2}{100}+\frac{x\times 10\times 2}{100}=760\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[\frac{2x}{100}(9+10)=760\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[\frac{2\times 19x}{100}=760\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[x=\frac{760\times 100}{2\times 19}\]= Rs. 2000
