    A sum of Rs. 1750 is divided into two parts such that the interests on the first part at 8% simple interest per annum and that on the other part at 6% simple interest per annum are equal. The interest on each part (in Rs.) is

    A) 60        

    B) 65

    C) 70                                

    D) 40

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Let first part \[=Rs.\,x\] and second             Part \[=Rs.(1750-x)\] According to the question, \[x\times \frac{8}{100}=(1750-x)\times \frac{6}{100}\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[8x+6=1750\times 6\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[14x=1750\times 6\] \[\Rightarrow \]   \[x=\frac{1750\times 6}{14}=Rs.\,750\] \[\therefore \]      Interest = 8% of Rs. 750             \[=750\times \frac{8}{100}=Rs.\,60\]
