Saurav borrowed a sum of Rs. 9000 from Himanshu at the rate of 16% per annum for 3 years. Saurav added some more money in it and lent it to Ekram at 18% per annum for the same period. In this process, Saurav earned a total profit of Rs. 720. Find how much money he added? Correct Answer Rs. 333.33
Given:
Condition for Saurav,
Principal = Rs. 9000
Rate of interest = 16%
Time = 3 years
Condition for Ekram,
Principal = Rs. 9000 + x
Rate = 18%
Time = 3 years
Formula:
Simple interest = (P × R × T)/100
Saurav earned profit from interest = Rs. 720
Simple interest (Ekram) - Simple interest (Saurav) = Rs. 720
- = Rs. 720
⇒ - = 720
⇒ 6/100 × = Rs. 720
⇒ 9000 + 9x = 12000
⇒ 9x = 3000
⇒ x = Rs. 333.33
∴ Saurav added Rs. 333.33
