Rohit borrowed ‘x’ from a money lender and Mohit borrowed ‘x – 5400’ from the same lender. If the money lender offers the money at 15% simple rate of interest and difference between amount of interest returned by Rohit and Mohit after 3 years is ‘0.2025x’, then what is the value of ‘x’? Correct Answer 12000
GIVEN:
Rate = 15% and time = 3 years
FORMULA USED:
SI = PRT/100
P = Principal, T = Time, R = Rate
CALCULATION:
Amount of interest given by Rohit = (x × 15 × 3)/100 = 0.45x
Amount of interest given by Mohit = /100 = (0.45x – 2430)
According to the question:
0.45x – (0.45x – 2430) = 0.2025x
⇒ 0.2025x = 2430
⇒ x = 12000
∴, value of x = Rs. 12000
