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
