    Solution

    Accumulated amount for X = 60000 × (1 + 0.05 × 6) = 60000 × 1.3 = Rs. 78000 Accumulated amount for Y = 180000 × (1 + 0.05 × 2) = 180000 × 1.1 = Rs. 198000 Accumulated amount for Z = 100000 × (1 + 0.05 × 5) = 100000 × 1.25 = Rs. 125000 Required percentage = {(78000 + 198000)/125000} × 100 = 220.8%
