A man lent a part of money at 10% p.a. and the rest at 15% p.a. his annual income is Rs.1900 . If he had interchanged the rate of interest on two sums , he would have earned Rs.200 more . Find the amount lent in each case.


Please answer with the Explaination

Answer :

Let  ,  Man lent a part of money at 10% p.a. =  x 
And
Man lent a part of money at 15% p.a. =  y  

So,

From first condition ,we get

10 x100 + 15 y100 =  1900x10 + 3 y20 =  19002 x +  3 y 20 =  19002 x +  3 y  = 38000               ---- ( 1 )

And also given  :  If he had interchanged the rate of interest on two sums , he would have earned Rs.200 more .  So

10 y100 + 15 x100 =  1900y10 + 3 x20 =  19002 y +  3 x 20 =  19002 y +  3 x  = 38000               ---- ( 2 )

Now we multiply by 3 in equation 1 and multiply by 2 in equation 2 , we get

6x  +  9y  =  114000                              ----- ( 4 )
And
4y  +  6x  =  84000                                ----- ( 5 ) 

Now we subtract equation 5 from equation 4  and get

5y =  30000 

y  =  6000  , Substitute that value in equation ( 1  )  and get

2x  +  3 (  6000 ) =  38000

2x  +  18000 =  38000

2x  =  20000

x  =  10000

So,

Man lent a part of money at 10% p.a. = Rs. 10, 000
And
Man lent a part of money at 15% p.a. = Rs. 6,000                                                                       ( Ans )
