Vijay lent out an amount Rs. 10000 into two parts, one at 8% p.a. and the remaining at 10% p.a. both on simple interest. At the end of the year he received Rs. 890 as total interest. What was the amount he lent out at 8% pa.a?
Options:
A . Rs. 6000
B . Rs. 5500
C . Rs. 4500
D . Rs. 5000
E . None of these
Answer: Option B
Let the amount lent out at 8% p.a. be Rs. A=> (A * 8)/100 + [(10000 - A) * 10]/100 = 890=> A = Rs. 5500.
