    Question

    S deposits a total of ₹50,000 in two accounts which give 8% and 12% simple interest annually, respectively. After one year, he gets a total ₹5,200. How much money does he deposit in the account with a 12% interest rate?

    A.

    ₹20,000

    B.

    ₹32,000

    C.

    ₹25,000

    D.

    ₹30,000

    Correct option is D

    Given:

    ​Total deposit = ₹50,000.

    Interest rates: 8% and 12% annually.
    Total interest earned after one year = ₹5,200. 
    Formula Used:
    The formula for simple interest is:
    Simple Interest = Principal×Rate× Time100\frac{\text{Principal}\times \text{Rate} \times \text{ Time}}{100}    
    Solution: 
    Let the amount deposit be ₹x , ₹50000 - x .
    According to the question, 
    x×8×1100+(50000x)×12×1100=5200 8x+60000012x=5200004x=6000005200004x=80000x=800004=20000\begin{aligned}&\frac{x \times 8 \times 1}{100} + \frac{(50000 -x) \times 12 \times 1}{100} = 5200 \\ \ \\ & 8x + 600000 - 12x = 520000 \\ & 4x = 600000 - 520000 \\& 4x = 80000 \\& x = \frac{80000}{4} = 20000 \end{aligned} 
    thus , the amount deposit at 12% is 50000 - 20000 = ₹30000.
