Rs. 1000 is lent out in two parts, one at 6 % simple interest and the other at 8 % simple interest. The yearly income is Rs. 75. The sum lent at 8 % is ?
Number of liters of water in 150 liters of the mixture = 20% of 150 = 20/100 x 150 = 30 liters.P liters of water added to the mixture to make water 25% of the new mixture.Total amount of water becomes (30 + P) and total volume of mixture is (150 + P).(30 + P) = 25/100 x (150 + P)120 + 4P = 150 + P => P = 10 liters.
