Q17 of 32 Page 46

Rekhadidi deposited ₹10,000 of her savings in two separate banks at the same time. The rate of simple interest per annum is of 6% in one bank and that of 7% in other bank; after 2 yrs., if she gets ₹1280 in total as interest, then let us writhe by calculating, the money she had deposited separately in each of two banks.

Case 1: For money deposited in first bank


P = p, r = 6, t = 2 and I = ?


As we know,





Case 2: For money deposited in second bank


P = 10000 – p, r = 7, t = 2 and I = ?


As we know,




From question the total interest is Rs. 1280


1280 =


128000 = 12p + 140000 – 14p


2p = 140000 – 128000



Money deposited in Second bank = 10000 – p


= 10000 – 6000 = Rs. 4000


Hence, she deposited Rs. 6000 in first bank and Rs. 4000 in another bank.
