Let the three parts = P1, P2, P3 ⇒ Total interest on P1 = 10 × 2 = 20% ⇒ Total interest on P2 = 10 × 4 = 40% ⇒ Total interest on P3 = 10 × 6 = 60% ATQ, P1 × 120% = P2 × 140% = P3 × 160% P1 × 12 = P2 × 14 = P3 × 16 P1 × 6 = P2 × 7 = P3 × 8 P1 : P2 : P3 = \(\frac{1}{6}\) : \(\frac{1}{7}\) : \(\frac{1}{8}\) = 28 : 24 : 21 = 73R ⇒ 73R = 10950 ⇒ R = 150 A's share = 28R = 4200 |
