One-fourth of an amount was loaned at simple interest with 2% rate of interest and the remaining part was lent on simple interest at 3% rate of interest What is the average rate of interest for the whole amount ?
Let the amount be 100 Rs.
One fourth of it is at 2 % pa
So, 25 x 2 x 1 /100 = .5
The rest is on 3% pa interest.
So, 75 x 3 x 1 /100 = 2.25
So total interest = 2.75
Interest rate = ?
Interest rate = i x 100/ pt
= 2.75 x100/100 = 2.75%
