A sum of Rs5500 is lent out in 3 parts in such a way that the interest on first part at 5% for 2 years and the interest on the second part at 6% for 5 years and that of 4% for 5 years on the third part are equal. The ratio in which the sum is divided into three parts is ….

• Ans. the sum is divided in the ratio 6:2:3
  
  Sol. let the sum is divided in three parts as x,y and z
  such that x+y+z=5500 (i)
  Then is per given condition
  .x=.3y=.2z (ii)
  from (i) and (ii) we get
  3y+y+1.5y = 5500
  => y= 1000
  Thus the amount is divided in three parts
  as 3000,1000 and 1500 which gives ratio as 6:2:3
