Given the third mixture how does one find the ratio in which they were mixed. Interest earned per year = Rs.$\frac{480}{4}\\$ = Rs 120 Therefore, % earned per year = $\frac{120}{4000}\\$ = 3% So, amount invested in 2% = $\frac{2}{3}\\$ * 4000 = $\frac{8000}{3}\\$ The question is "How much money did Ram borrow t 2% interest rate?" ##### Hence, the answer is "$\frac{8000}{3}\\$". Choice A is the correct answer. ###### Best Online CAT CoachingSign up and sample 9 classesfor free Signup Now! ###### Already have an Account? ###### CAT Coaching in ChennaiEnroll at 32000/- Next Weekend Batch Starts Sat, July 13th, 2019 ###### Best CAT Coaching in ChennaiRegister Online, get Rs 4000 off Personalised attention, Small batch sizes. ##### Where is 2IIM located? 2IIM Online CAT Coaching A Fermat Education Initiative, 10-C, Kalinga Colony, Bobbili Raja Salai K.K.Nagar, Chennai.
