One-third of Rahul's savings in National Savings Certificate is equal to one-half of his savings in Public Provident Fund. If he has Rs. 1,50,000 as total savings, how much has he saved in Public Provident Fund ?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Let savings in N.S.C and P.P.F. be Rs. x and Rs. (150000 - x) respectively. Then,
| 1 | x = | 1 | (150000 - x) |
| 3 | 2 |
 |
x | + | x | = 75000 |
| 3 | 2 |
|
5x | = 75000 |
| 6 |
| x = |
75000 x 6 | = 90000 |
| 5 |
Savings in Public Provident Fund = Rs. (150000 - 90000) = Rs. 60000
