Given:

Total amount lent = Rs.26200

Interest rate for X = 10% per annum

Interest rate for Y = 5% per annum

Total time = 4 years

Total amount after 4 years = Rs.34060

Formula Used:

Simple Interest (SI) = (Principal × Rate × Time) / 100

Total amount = Principal + Simple Interest

Calculation:

Let the amount lent to X = Rs.x

Amount lent to Y = Rs.(26200 - x)

Interest from X = (x × 10 × 4) / 100 = (40x) / 100 = 0.4x

Interest from Y = [(26200 - x) × 5 × 4] / 100 = [(26200 - x) × 20] / 100 = (524000 - 20x) / 100 = 5240 - 0.2x

Total amount after 4 years = Principal + Interest

⇒ 26200 + (0.4x + 5240 - 0.2x) = 34060

⇒ 26200 + 5240 + 0.2x = 34060

⇒ 31440 + 0.2x = 34060

⇒ 0.2x = 34060 - 31440

⇒ 0.2x = 2620

⇒ x = 2620 / 0.2

⇒ x = 13100

Amount lent to Y = 26200 - x

⇒ Amount lent to Y = 26200 - 13100

⇒ Amount lent to Y = 13100

The amount lent to Y is Rs.13100.
