Option 3 : 3 ∶ 2
Let the parts be Rs. ‘x’ and Rs. (10000 – x)
∵ Simple interest = (Principal × Rate × Time)/100
Simple interest on Rs. x at 12.5% after 4 years = (x × 12.5 × 4)/100 = 0.5x
∵ Compound interest after n years = Principal ×
Compound interest on Rs. (10000 – x) at 10% after 2 years
= (10000 – x) ×
= (10000 – x) × 0.21
= 2100 – 0.21x
Now, total interest received = Rs. 3840
⇒ 0.5x + 2100 – 0.21x = 3840
⇒ 0.29x = 1740
⇒ x = 1740/0.29 = Rs. 6000
⇒ 10000 – x = Rs. 4000
∴ Required ratio = 6000 ∶ 4000 = 3 ∶ 2
