The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem step by step, we will follow the information provided and apply the formulas for simple and compound interest. ### Step 1: Define the Variables Let the amount borrowed by the man be \( P \). ### Step 2: Calculate Simple Interest The man borrowed money at a simple interest rate of \( 5\% \) per annum for \( 4 \) years. The formula for simple interest (SI) is: \[ SI = \frac{P \times R \times T}{100} \] where: - \( R = 5\% \) - \( T = 4 \) years Substituting the values: \[ SI = \frac{P \times 5 \times 4}{100} = \frac{20P}{100} = \frac{P}{5} \] ### Step 3: Calculate the Amount Paid Back The total amount paid back after \( 4 \) years is: \[ \text{Total Amount} = P + SI = P + \frac{P}{5} = \frac{5P + P}{5} = \frac{6P}{5} \] ### Step 4: Calculate Compound Interest The man lent \( 50\% \) of the borrowed amount, which is \( \frac{P}{2} \), at a compound interest rate of \( 10\% \) per annum for \( 4 \) years. The formula for compound interest (CI) is: \[ CI = A - P \] where \( A \) is the amount after \( T \) years, calculated as: \[ A = P \left(1 + \frac{R}{100}\right)^T \] Substituting the values: \[ A = \frac{P}{2} \left(1 + \frac{10}{100}\right)^4 = \frac{P}{2} \left(1.1\right)^4 \] Calculating \( (1.1)^4 \): \[ (1.1)^4 = 1.4641 \] Thus, \[ A = \frac{P}{2} \times 1.4641 = 0.73205P \] Now, the compound interest earned is: \[ CI = A - \frac{P}{2} = 0.73205P - \frac{P}{2} \] Converting \( \frac{P}{2} \) to a decimal: \[ \frac{P}{2} = 0.5P \] So, \[ CI = 0.73205P - 0.5P = 0.23205P \] ### Step 5: Set Up the Profit Equation According to the problem, the profit made by the man is \( Rs. 3205 \). Therefore, we can set up the equation: \[ 0.23205P - \frac{P}{5} = 3205 \] Substituting \( \frac{P}{5} \) as \( 0.2P \): \[ 0.23205P - 0.2P = 3205 \] This simplifies to: \[ 0.03205P = 3205 \] ### Step 6: Solve for \( P \) To find \( P \), we divide both sides by \( 0.03205 \): \[ P = \frac{3205}{0.03205} = 100,000 \] ### Final Answer The man borrowed \( Rs. 100,000 \). ---
