Correct Answer: Rs. 1,750
Solution : Given: A sum of Rs. 3,500 is lent out at simple interest in two parts. Use the formula, $SI=\frac{P\times R\times T}{100}$ where $SI$, $P$, $R$, and $T$ are the simple interest, principal, rate, and time. According to the question, ⇒ $\frac{P\times 7\times 1}{100}+\frac{(3500-P)\times 5\times 1}{100}=210$ ⇒ $\frac{7P}{100}+\frac{(3500-P)\times5}{100}=210$ ⇒ $7P+17500-5P=21000$ ⇒ $2P=3500$ ⇒ $P= 1,750$ Hence, the correct answer is Rs. 1,750.
