Correct Answer: 12 %

Explanation:

Total money = Tk. 2540

Let, x amount money lent out at 12%(2540 — x) amount lent out at 12.5%

At 12%Tk. 100 makes income = Tk. l2

Tk. x makes Income = Tk. $\frac{12x}{100}$

= $\frac{3x}{25}$

At 12.5%,Tk. 100 makes income = Tk. 12.5Tk.

(2540 —x) makes Income = $\frac{12.5 x (2540-x)}{100}$= $\frac{2540-x}{8}$

According to the question,$\frac{3x}{25}$ + $\frac{2540-x}{8}$ = 311.60

=> 24x + 63500 — 25x = 62320

=> – x = 62320 – 63500

x = 1180Tk.

1180 has been lent at 12%.
