Simplification Q28

28.	One-third of Rahul's savings in National Savings Certificate is equal to one-half of his savings in Public Provident Fund. If he has Rs. 1,50,000 as total savings, how much has he saved in Public Provident Fund ?
	A. Rs. 30,000 B. Rs. 50,0 00 C. Rs. 60,000 D. Rs. 90,000

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

Let savings in N.S.C and P.P.F. be Rs. x and Rs. (150000 - x) respectively. Then,

1	x =	1	(150000 - x)
3		2

	x	+	x	= 75000
	3		2

	5x	= 75000
	6

x =	75000 x 6	= 90000
	5

                        Savings in Public Provident Fund = Rs. (150000 - 90000) = Rs. 60000
