- sorry,previous solution is wrong
s+b=1000000----1 (1 million=1000000)
.12s+.1b=115000----2
solving 1 and 2,we get s=750,000 (a) is correct ans. - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(19) No(0)
- s+b=100,000---1
.12s+.1b=15,000----2 (total cash is 115,000 so,115,000-100,000=15,000)
solving 1 & 2 then we get, s=250,000 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(6) No(6)
- fund = 10,00,000
let amount invested in A = x
amount invested in B = 1000000-x
interest got = 115000
0.12x + 0.1(1000000-x) = 115000
after solving this x = 750000 - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(6) No(0)
- right ans is a 750,000

- let A invested x
then x*0.12*1+(1-x)*.1*1=0.115
solving this eqn we get x=.75
thus ans= (A) - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
