    Question

    A man invested 13\frac{1}{3} of his income at 7% simple interest, 14\frac{1}{4} of his income at 8% simple interest, and the remainder of his income at 10% simple interest. If the total interest at the end of one year was ₹561, what was his initital income?

    A.

    ₹4,500

    B.

    ₹6,600

    C.

    ₹7,500

    D.

    ₹3,000

    Correct option is B

    Given:

    A man invested of13\frac 13​ of his capital at 7%
    14\frac 14​ of capital at 8%
    The rest of the capital is at 10%
    Thereby getting an annual income of Rs. 561.
    Formula Used:
    S.I=P×R×T100S.I = \frac{P × R × T}{100}​​
    where P = Sum of money, r = Rate, and t = Time
    Solution:
    Let the total income be 12x
    13\frac 13​ of 12x
    => 12x × 13\frac 13​​
    => 4x
    14\frac 14​ of 12x
    => 12x × 14\frac 14​​
    => 3x
    Remaining = 12x – 4x – 3x
    => 5x

    As we know,
    4x×7×1100+3x×8×1100+5x×10×1100=561\frac{4x \times 7 \times 1}{100} + \frac{3x \times 8 \times 1}{100} + \frac{5x \times 10 \times 1}{100} = 561​​
    => 28x + 24x + 50x = 56100
    => 102x = 56100
    => x = 56100102\frac{56100}{102}​​
    Total sum = 56100102\frac{56100}{102}​ × 12 = Rs. 6600
