The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we need to determine how much A received as a loan from a total sum of Rs. 7,930, which is divided into three parts given to A, B, and C at different time periods but with the same interest rate, such that the amounts received at the end of their respective periods are equal. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Variables:** Let the amounts loaned to A, B, and C be represented as \( A \), \( B \), and \( C \) respectively. 2. **Understand the Interest Calculation:** The formula for the amount \( A \) after a certain time with simple interest is: \[ \text{Amount} = \text{Principal} + \text{Interest} = P + \left( P \times \frac{r}{100} \times t \right) \] where \( P \) is the principal, \( r \) is the rate of interest, and \( t \) is the time in years. 3. **Set Up the Equations:** For A (2 years): \[ \text{Amount}_A = A + \left( A \times \frac{5}{100} \times 2 \right) = A \left( 1 + \frac{10}{100} \right) = A \times 1.1 \] For B (3 years): \[ \text{Amount}_B = B + \left( B \times \frac{5}{100} \times 3 \right) = B \left( 1 + \frac{15}{100} \right) = B \times 1.15 \] For C (4 years): \[ \text{Amount}_C = C + \left( C \times \frac{5}{100} \times 4 \right) = C \left( 1 + \frac{20}{100} \right) = C \times 1.2 \] 4. **Set the Amounts Equal:** Since all amounts are equal after their respective periods: \[ A \times 1.1 = B \times 1.15 = C \times 1.2 \] 5. **Express B and C in terms of A:** From the equality: \[ B = \frac{A \times 1.1}{1.15} \] \[ C = \frac{A \times 1.1}{1.2} \] 6. **Substitute into the Total Sum:** The total sum of the loans is given as Rs. 7,930: \[ A + B + C = 7930 \] Substituting for B and C: \[ A + \frac{A \times 1.1}{1.15} + \frac{A \times 1.1}{1.2} = 7930 \] 7. **Combine the Terms:** To combine, find a common denominator: \[ A + \frac{A \times 1.1 \times 1.2 + A \times 1.1 \times 1.15}{1.15 \times 1.2} = 7930 \] Simplifying the numerator: \[ A + \frac{A \times 1.1 (1.2 + 1.15)}{1.15 \times 1.2} = 7930 \] \[ A + \frac{A \times 1.1 \times 2.35}{1.38} = 7930 \] 8. **Factor Out A:** \[ A \left( 1 + \frac{1.1 \times 2.35}{1.38} \right) = 7930 \] 9. **Calculate the Coefficient:** Calculate the coefficient and solve for \( A \): \[ A \left( 1 + \frac{2.585}{1.38} \right) = 7930 \] \[ A \left( 1 + 1.875 \right) = 7930 \] \[ A \times 2.875 = 7930 \] \[ A = \frac{7930}{2.875} \approx 2767 \] ### Final Answer: A received a loan of **Rs. 2,767**.
