35th question plz answer
35. A man invests ₹6750, partly in shares of 6% at ₹140 and partly in shares of 5% at ₹125. If his total income is ₹280, how much has he invested in each?
Dear Student
Let the investment of the man in shares paying 6% at Rs 140 be Rs x, then his investment in shares paying 5% at Rs 125 = Rs (6750 – x)
Income on one share of Rs 140 = Rs 6
Investment in buying shares 6% at Rs 140 is Rs 3500
∴ Investment in buying shares 5% at Rs 125 is Rs 3250
