SSC CGL Tier II Quant - 30/11/2016 • Quantitative Aptitude • Q53

A sum of Rs. 4000 is lent out in two parts, one at 8% simple interest and the other at 10% simple interest. If the annual interest is Rs. 352. The sum lent at 8% is ?

Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is option 3

Let the amount lent at 8% SI = Rs x

And amount lent at 10% SI = Rs (4000 - x)

Now,

(x ×8 × 1)/100 + [(4000 - x) 10 × 1]/100 = 352

8x + 40000 - 10x = 35200

x = Rs 2400
