Directions to Solve
Two different finance companies declare fixed annual rate of interest on the amounts invested with them by investors. The rate of interest offered by these companies may differ from year to year depending on the variation in the economy of the country and the banks rate of interest. The annual rate of interest offered by the two Companies P and Q over the years are shown by the line graph provided below.
Annual Rate of Interest Offered by Two Finance Companies Over the Years.
3.
In 2000, a part of Rs. 30 lakhs was invested in Company P and the rest was invested in Company Q for one year. The total interest received was Rs. 2.43 lakhs. What was the amount invested in Company P?
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Let Rs. x lakhs be invested in Company P in 2000, the amount invested in Company Q in 2000 = Rs. (30 - x) lakhs.
Total interest received from the two Companies after 1 year
= Rs. [(7.5% of x) + {9% of (30 - x)}] lakhs

Let amt invested in P = x.
And Q = (30-x).
(P) 7.5% of x +( Q) 9%of ( 30-x ).
Sol.
7.5/100*x + 9/100*30 - 9/100*x
Take that 7.5 to right side and subtract with 9
We will get 1.5x/100
9/100 * 30 = 2.70,
2.70 - (1.5x/100) = 2.43,
1.5x/100 = 2.43-2.70,
1.5/100. = 0.27,
0.27 * 100/1.5x,
270/1.5x,
X = 18.
And Q = (30-x).
(P) 7.5% of x +( Q) 9%of ( 30-x ).
Sol.
7.5/100*x + 9/100*30 - 9/100*x
Take that 7.5 to right side and subtract with 9
We will get 1.5x/100
9/100 * 30 = 2.70,
2.70 - (1.5x/100) = 2.43,
1.5x/100 = 2.43-2.70,
1.5/100. = 0.27,
0.27 * 100/1.5x,
270/1.5x,
X = 18.

More detailed steps:.
(7.5% of x) + ( (9% of (30-x) ) = 2.43.
0.075x + 0.09 (30-x) = 2.43.
0.075x + 2.7 - 0.09x = 2.43 (subtract all the x s together).
-0.015x + 2.7 = 2.43.
-0.015x = 2.43 -2.7 (2.7 will go to the other side).
-0.015x = - 0.27 (both negative signs will cross each other).
x= 0.27/0.015 (both negative signs will cross each other).
x= 18.
(7.5% of x) + ( (9% of (30-x) ) = 2.43.
0.075x + 0.09 (30-x) = 2.43.
0.075x + 2.7 - 0.09x = 2.43 (subtract all the x s together).
-0.015x + 2.7 = 2.43.
-0.015x = 2.43 -2.7 (2.7 will go to the other side).
-0.015x = - 0.27 (both negative signs will cross each other).
x= 0.27/0.015 (both negative signs will cross each other).
x= 18.

For 30 lakhs he receives interest @ 9% it amounts to 2.7 l and @ 7.5% it amounts to 2.25 l actually he received 2.43 l.
So 2.7-2.43 = 0.27.
And 2.43-2.25 = 0.18.
The ratio becomes 0.27:0.18.
i.e. 3:2 so amount deposited in higher ROI will be 12 and lower ROI will be 18 (30 lakh in ratio of 3:2).
Do it like mixture and allegations?

[(7.5% of x)+ ( 9% of (30-x))]
of this take (9% of (30-x))= (9% of 30) - (9% of x)
and (9% of 30)= 27/100 =2.7
and as whole
[(7.5% of x)+ 2.7 - (9% of x)]
=2.7 - (1.5% of x)
=2.7 - (1.5x/100)
of this take (9% of (30-x))= (9% of 30) - (9% of x)
and (9% of 30)= 27/100 =2.7
and as whole
[(7.5% of x)+ 2.7 - (9% of x)]
=2.7 - (1.5% of x)
=2.7 - (1.5x/100)

Why we take 7.5 of x and 9%of 30-x?
Vishwanath said:

Because 7.5 is the interest rate of company P in the year 2000 and Q as well.
