Given:

A sum of Rs. 1550 is lent out into two parts, one at 8% and the other at 6%.

The total annual income is Rs. 106

Calculation:

Let's call the amount lent out at 8% as x.

So, the amount lent out at 6% is 1550 - x.

The annual income from the amount lent at 8% is 8/100 × x = 0.08x.

The annual income from the amount lent at 6% is

6/100 ×  (1550 - x)

⇒ 0.06 * 1550 - 0.06x.

The total annual income is the sum of the two:

0.08x + 0.06 × 1550 - 0.06x = 106

Simplifying the equation, we get:

0.02x = 106 - 0.06 × 1550

0.02x = 106 - 93

0.02x = 13

So, x = 13 / 0.02 = 650.

Therefore, the amount lent out at 8% is 650 and the amount lent out at 6% is 1550 - 650 = 900.
