Simple Interest

Question:

A sum of Rs. 48684 is divided into two parts such that the simple interest on the first part for 6\(\frac{1}{5}\) years at 7\(\frac{1}{3}\)% p.a. is triple the simple interest on the second part for 3\(\frac{3}{4}\) years at 5% p.a. The ratio of the second part to the first part is?

Options:

375 : 6895

2728 : 3375

865 : 6348

573 : 2865

Correct Answer:

2728 : 3375

Explanation:

P1 × \(\frac{31}{5}\)× \(\frac{22}{3 × 100}\) = 3 × P2 × \(\frac{15}{4}\) × \(\frac{5}{100}\)

 

\(\frac{P_1}{P_2}\) = \(\frac{3375}{2728}\)
