    Solution

    ATQ, Let first part of money be A rupees then second part will (8000-A) rupees. Simple interest = Principal × Rate of interest × Number of years/100 Now according to question- A×5×4/100 + (8000-A) ×4×4/100 = 1360 20A + 16× (8000-A) = 136000 4A = 136000 – 128000 A = 2000 Second part = 8000-2000 = 6000 Ratio = 2000/6000 = 1:3
