A man has 32,000 rupees to lend on loan. He lent some of his capital to Rupesh at an interest rate of 20% per annum and the rest to Govind at an interest rate of 12% per annum. At the end of 1 year he got 17% of his capital as interest. How much did he lend to Rupesh? Correct Answer 20000
Given:
Total amount he has to lent = Rs. 32000
Formula:
Let P = Principal, R = rate of interest and N = time
Simple interest = PNR/100
Calculation:
Let capital lent to Rupesh be Rs. a.
Amount lent to Govind = Rs. (32000 - a)
Simple interest earned from Rupesh = a × 20 × 1/100 = Rs. a/5
Simple interest earned from Govind = (32000 - a) × 12 × 1/100 = Rs. (3840 - 3a/25)
Total simple interest earned from both = 32000 × 17/100 = Rs. 5440
Then,
⇒ a/5 + 3840 - 3a/25 = 5440
⇒ a = 20000
∴ Amount lent to Rupesh is Rs. 20000.
