A man takes a loan of some amount at some rate of simple interest. After three years, the loan amount is doubled and rate of interest is decreased by 2%. After 5 years,if the total interest paid on the whole is ₹13,600, which is equal to the same when the first amount was taken for $$11\frac{1}{3}$$ years, then the loan taken initially is:
Let the principal amount = P
Rate of interest = R
According to the question
$$\frac{P\times3\times R}{100}+\frac{2P\times5\times\left(R-2\right)}{100}=13600$$
$$=$$> $$\frac{3PR}{100}+\frac{10PR}{100}-\frac{20P}{100}=13600$$
$$=$$> $$\frac{13PR}{100}-\frac{20P}{100}=13600$$ .............(1)
Given, interest on P after $$11\frac{1}{3}$$ years at the rate of R% = ₹ 13,600
$$=$$> $$\frac{P\times\frac{34}{3}\times\ R}{100}=13600$$
$$=$$> PR = 120000
Substituting PR = 120000 in equation (1)
$$\frac{13\times120000}{100}-\frac{20P}{100}=13600$$
$$=$$> $$15600-\frac{P}{5}=13600$$
$$=$$> $$\frac{P}{5}=15600-13600$$
$$=$$> $$\frac{P}{5}=2000$$
$$=$$> P = 10000
$$\therefore\ $$Loan taken initially = ₹ 10,000
Hence, the correct answer is Option D
