Question 89

Certain amount is divided into 3 parts such that those parts yields the equal interest after 1, 2 and 3 years respectively at 4% simple interest per annum. Then the ratio between the three parts respectively is

Solution

Let say,

p,q and r are the three parts.

So,Then the simple interest would be

$$(p×0.04×1)=(q×0.04×2)=(r×0.04×3)$$

$$=k(let say).$$

$$p=25k,q=12.5k and r=(25/3)k.$$

So,

$$p:q:r=25k:12.5k:(25/3)k$$

$$=k:0.5k:(k/3)$$

$$=6:3:2.$$

A is correct choice.
