A person had Rs.8400. He lent a part of it at 4% and the remaining at \( \Large 3\frac{1}{3} \)% simple interest. His total annual income was Rs.294. Find the sum he lent at 4%.
A) Rs.2310
B) Rs.2110
C) Rs.2500
D) Rs.2100
Correct answer:
D) Rs.2100
Description for Correct answer:
SI on Rs.8400 for 1 yr = Rs.294
Therefore, Rate of interest \( \Large \frac{100 \times 294}{8400 \times 1} = \frac{7}{2}
= 3\frac{1}{2} \)%
According to the rule of allegation,
Rate I Rate II (4%) ( 10/3%)
Rate I (4%) : Rate Il (12%) = \( \Large \frac{1}{6} \) : \( \Large \frac{1}{2} \) = 1 : 3
Therefore, Money lent at 4% = \( \Large \frac{1}{4} \times 8400 \) = Rs.2100
