    An amount of Rs. 100000 is invested in two types of shares. The first yields an interest of 9% per annum and second yields 11% per annum. If the total interest at the end of one year is \[9\frac{3}{4}%,\] then the amount invested in each share was

    A)  Rs. 72500, Rs. 27500

    B)  Rs. 62500, Rs. 37500

    C)  Rs. 52500, Rs. 47500

    D)  Rs. 82500, Rs. 17500

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Let the first part = Rs. x \[\therefore \]  Second part \[=Rs.(100000-x)\] \[\therefore \frac{x\times 9\times 1}{100}+\frac{(100000-x)\times 11\times 1}{100}=\frac{100000\times 39\times 1}{100\times 4}\]\[\Rightarrow \] \[36x+4400000-44x=3900000\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[8x=500000\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[x=62500\] \[\therefore \]      First part \[=Rs.\,62500\] And      Second part \[=37500\]
