A sum of Rs. 2730 is lent into two parts so that the interest on the first part for 8 years at 3% per annum may be equal to the interest on the second part for 3 years at 5% per annum. Find the second sum?
Choose the correct choice from the following: A) 1629 B) 1680 C) 1677 D) 1698 E) 1679
(x*8*3)/100 = ((2730 - x)*3*5)/100   24x/100 = 40950/100 - 15x/100   39x = 40950 =&gt; x = 1050   Second sum = 2730 â€“ 1050 = 1680   Answer:1680
