Question: A sum of Rs. 20,000 was invested partly at 10% p.a. simple interest and partly at 15% p.a. simple interest. If the total interest on the sum was Rs. 2400 at the end of one year, find the sum invested at 10% p.a.
Solution:
Let Rs. P1 and Rs. P2 invested partly at 10% p.a. simple interest and 15% p.a. simple interest respectively.
I1=(P1 x N x R)/100 = 10P1/100  and  I2=(P2 x N x R)/100=15P2/100
According to the question,
P1+P2 = 20000 ... (i)
And, I1+I2 = 2400
rightwards double arrow fraction numerator 10 P subscript 1 over denominator 100 end fraction plus fraction numerator 15 P subscript 2 over denominator 100 end fraction equals 2400
rightwards double arrow 10 P subscript 1 plus 15 P subscript 2 equals 240000
rightwards double arrow 2 P subscript 2 plus 3 P subscript 2 equals 48000 space... space left parenthesis i i right parenthesis

P subscript 2 equals 8000

P subscript 1 plus 8000 equals 20000
rightwards double arrow P subscript 1 equals 12000
