Answered by admin @



Answer:

let sum = P

let rate = R %

P+5PR/100 = 2500

100P+5PR = 250000

20P+PR = 50000 -----------------------(1)

similarly,

P+7PR/100 = 3000

100P + 7PR = 300000 -------------------(2)

solving both equation now ,

[ multiply equation (1) by 7 and subtracting (2) ]

140P + 7PR = 350000

100P +7PR = 300000

------------------------------

40P = 50000

P = 1250 (Ans.)
