    A Rs.1200, Rs.5400 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs.3500, Rs.4300 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs.4400, Rs.3200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.1700, Rs.3700 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Let the amount lent at 4% rate = Rs. x. Then, amount lent at 6% rate = 6600 - x So,  => 4% of x + 6% of (6600 - x) = 372 => 6% of 6600 – 2% of x = 372 => 396 – 2% of x = 372 => 2% of x = 24 => x = (24/2) × 100  => x = Rs. 1200 Amount lent at 4% rate = Rs. 1200 Amount lent at 6% rate = 6600 – 1200 = Rs.5400
