Question : At some rate of Simple interest, A lent Rs. 6,000 to B for 2 years and Rs. 1,500 to C for 4 years and received 900 as interest from both of them together. The Rate of interest per annum was:
Option 1: 5%
Option 2: 6%
Option 3: 8%
Option 4: 10%
Correct Answer: 5%
Solution : First sum, $P_1$ = Rs. 6,000 First term, $n_1$ = 2 years Second sum, $P_2$ = Rs. 1,500 Second term, $n_2$ = 4 years Interest, SI = Rs. 900 Let $R$ be the rate. We know, Simple interest = $\frac{\text{Principal × Rate × Time}}{100}$ According to the question, $900 = \frac{6000×2×R}{100}+\frac{1500×4×R}{100}$ $⇒ 900 = 180R$ $\therefore R= 5\%$ Hence, the correct answer is 5%.
