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%.
