Anil lent a sum of money to Sunil at 8.25% per annum simple interest. Sunil lent the entire sum to Devi on the same day at 11.5% per annum simple interest. After a year Sunil earned a sum of Rs. 325 from the whole transaction. Find the sum of money lent by Anil to Sunil. Correct Answer Rs. 10,000
Given:
Anil lent a sum of money to Sunil at 8.25% per annum simple interest.
Sunil lent the entire sum to Devi on the same day at 11.5% per annum simple interest.
Sunil earned a sum of Rs. 325 from the whole transaction.
Formula Used:
SI = (P × r × t)/100
Where, SI = Simple Interest, P = Principal, r = Rate of interest (in percentage)
t = Time period
Calculation:
It is given that,
Rate at which Anil lent to Sunil, r1 = 8.25%
Rate at which Sunil lent to Devi, r2 = 11.5%
Earnings by Sunil = Rs. 325
Let the sum lent by Anil to Sunil be P.
Interest earned by Anil, SI1 = (P × 8.25 × 1)/100
Interest earned by Sunil, SI2 = (P × 11.5 × 1)/100
Net earnings of Sunil = SI1 – SI2 = Rs. 325
⇒ – = 325
⇒ 11.5P – 8.25P = 32500
⇒ 3.25P = 32500
⇒ P = Rs. 10000
∴ The sum lent by Anil to Sunil is Rs. 10000.
