Ravi lent out a certain sum. He lent (1)...

Ravi lent out a certain sum. He lent `(1)/(3)` part of his sum at 7% SI, `(1)/(4)` part at 8% SI and remaining part at 10% SI. If Rs. 510 is his annual total interest, then find the money lent out.

The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem, we will break it down step by step. ### Step 1: Define the total sum lent out Let the total sum lent out by Ravi be \( S \). ### Step 2: Calculate the amounts lent at different interest rates - The amount lent at 7% SI is \( \frac{1}{3}S \). - The amount lent at 8% SI is \( \frac{1}{4}S \). - The remaining amount lent at 10% SI can be calculated as follows: \[ \text{Remaining amount} = S - \left(\frac{1}{3}S + \frac{1}{4}S\right) \] ### Step 3: Find a common denominator for the fractions To combine \( \frac{1}{3}S \) and \( \frac{1}{4}S \), we need a common denominator. The least common multiple of 3 and 4 is 12. - Convert \( \frac{1}{3}S \) to twelfths: \[ \frac{1}{3}S = \frac{4}{12}S \] - Convert \( \frac{1}{4}S \) to twelfths: \[ \frac{1}{4}S = \frac{3}{12}S \] ### Step 4: Calculate the remaining amount Now we can calculate the remaining amount: \[ \text{Remaining amount} = S - \left(\frac{4}{12}S + \frac{3}{12}S\right) = S - \frac{7}{12}S = \frac{5}{12}S \] ### Step 5: Calculate the interest from each part Now, we can calculate the interest from each part: 1. Interest from \( \frac{1}{3}S \) at 7%: \[ \text{Interest}_1 = \frac{1}{3}S \times \frac{7}{100} = \frac{7}{300}S \] 2. Interest from \( \frac{1}{4}S \) at 8%: \[ \text{Interest}_2 = \frac{1}{4}S \times \frac{8}{100} = \frac{8}{400}S = \frac{1}{50}S \] 3. Interest from \( \frac{5}{12}S \) at 10%: \[ \text{Interest}_3 = \frac{5}{12}S \times \frac{10}{100} = \frac{50}{1200}S = \frac{5}{120}S = \frac{1}{24}S \] ### Step 6: Combine the interests Now, we can combine all the interests: \[ \text{Total Interest} = \frac{7}{300}S + \frac{1}{50}S + \frac{1}{24}S \] ### Step 7: Find a common denominator for the total interest The least common multiple of 300, 50, and 24 is 1200. We convert each term: 1. \( \frac{7}{300}S = \frac{28}{1200}S \) 2. \( \frac{1}{50}S = \frac{24}{1200}S \) 3. \( \frac{1}{24}S = \frac{50}{1200}S \) Now, combine them: \[ \text{Total Interest} = \left(\frac{28 + 24 + 50}{1200}\right)S = \frac{102}{1200}S \] ### Step 8: Set the total interest equal to Rs. 510 According to the problem, the total interest is Rs. 510: \[ \frac{102}{1200}S = 510 \] ### Step 9: Solve for \( S \) To find \( S \), we can rearrange the equation: \[ S = 510 \times \frac{1200}{102} \] Calculating this gives: \[ S = 510 \times \frac{1200}{102} = 510 \times 11.7647 \approx 6000 \] ### Final Answer The total sum lent out by Ravi is Rs. 6000. ---
