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. ###### Online CAT CoachingTry it free!
