   E. Cannot be determined
   

   Answer

   Answer – A. 34,000
   Solution:
   Sum of Ramu + Rita is 72,000
   Interest rate of Ramu = Ramu’s Sum* (7+6+8+9+8)/100
   Interest rate of Rita = Rita’s sum * (10+9+6+8+10)/100
   Solving above equations we get Ramu’s sum is 34,000.
   
   
2. If the difference between the total Interest rates earned by Ramu & Rita is Rs 3420 then at the end of the year 2015 how much amount can Rita withdraw from her bank?

   D. 54340
   E. Cannot be determined
   

   Answer

   Answer – D. 54340
   Solution:
   Difference of interest is Rita’s sum * (10+9+6+8+10)/100 – Ramu’s Sum* (7+6+8+9+8)/100 = 3420
   Sum of Ramu & Rita is 72,000
   Solving we get Rita investment is 38000
   Interest by end of 2015 38,000 + 38,000*(10+9+6+8+10)/100 = 54340
