can anyone answer this question

Dear Student, 
Solution) 
Given  : Amar deposits Rs . x  in savings bank account at the rate of 5% per annum and
Rs . in fixed deposit at 10% per annum.
As, we know that,
Simple interest  = P × r  × t100
Therefore, from the given condition " At the end of the first year he gets Rs. 400 as total interest "  we get ,

x × 5  ×1100 + y × 10  ×1100 = 400x20 + y10 = 400x + 2y 20 = 400x + 2y = 8000                -------- ( 1 )

Also, from the given condition " He deposits Rs . y in savings bank account and Rs . x in fixed deposit he would get Rs. 350 as total interest. " , we get

y × 5  ×1100 + x × 10  ×1100 = 350y20 + x10 = 350y + 2x 20 = 3502x + y = 7000                -------- ( 2 )

Now, multiply equation (1)  by 2, we get,

2x + 4y  = 16000                                     ----------- ( 3 )

and subtract equation (2) from equation (3), we get,

3y = 9000

y  = 3000 , Substitute that value in equation (1) , we get,

x + 2 ( 3000 ) = 8000

= 8000 - 6000

x  = 2000
So,
Total amount he deposits  =  x  + y  =  2000 + 3000
Rs . 5000     
= (3) option
Regards!
