the simple interest in 14 months on a certain sum at the rate of 6 per cent per annum is 250 more than the interest on the same sum at the rate of 8 per cent in 8 months. how much amount was borrowed?
divide(250, subtract(multiply(divide(14, const_12), divide(6, const_100)), multiply(divide(8, const_12), divide(8, const_100))))
let the amount be x . from the question , x × 14 × 6 / 1200 − x × 8 × 8 / 1200 = 250 ∴ x = 15000 answer a
