Rs.2500 is divided into two parts such that if one part be put out at 5% simple interest and the other at 6%, the yearly annual income may be Rs.140. How much was lent at 5%?

  • A.Rs.1500
  • B.Rs.1300
  • C.Rs.1200
  • D.Rs.1000

Answer: D

Let \( p \) be the part at 5%; the rest, \( 2500 - p \), earns 6%.

\[ 0.05p + 0.06(2500 - p) = 140 \]

\[ 0.05p + 150 - 0.06p = 140 \quad\Longrightarrow\quad -0.01p = -10 \]

\[ p = \text{Rs. } 1000 \]

Checking: Rs. 50 from the 5% part and Rs. 90 from the Rs. 1500 at 6%.
