In an examination, 47% failed in English and 54% failed in Mathematics. Find the pass percentage in both the subjects if 31% failed in both the subjects?

A. Rs 4500
B. Rs 5000
C. Rs 5500
D. Rs 6000
Explanation:
Let the money borrowed be Rs x
Interest paid by the money lender = Rs (x × 4/100 × 1) =Rs x/25
Interest received by the money lender
= Rs [x × (1 + 3/100)2 – x]
= Rs(x × 103/100 × 103/100 – x)
Gain = Rs (609x/1000 – x /25)
= Rs 209x/1000 = Rs 609x/10000
Therefore 209x/10000 = 104.50
=> 209x = 1045000
=> x = 5000
Hence money borrowed = Rs 5000
