Correct Answer: $100(\frac{Q-P}{Px-Qy})$
Solution : Given: $P$ is the principal, $x$ is the rate for 1st case, $Q$ is the principal and $y$ is the rate for the second case. Let the amount be equal in $T$ years. Simple interest = $\frac{P×R×T}{100}$ According to the question: $P+\frac{P×x×T}{100}=Q+\frac{Q×y×T}{100}$ ⇒ $\frac{PxT}{100}-\frac{QyT}{100}=Q–P$ ⇒ $T(\frac{Px}{100}-\frac{Qy}{100})=Q–P$ ⇒ $ T(\frac{Px-Qy}{100})$ = $Q–P$ ⇒ $T=\frac{(Q-P)100}{Px-Qy}$ Hence, the answer is $\frac{(Q-P)100}{Px-Qy}$.
