    One-third of Raju's savings in National Savings Certificate is equal to one-half of his savings in Public Provident Fund. If he has Tk. 1,50,000 as total savings, how much has he saved in Public Provident Fund?

    ক)
    Tk. 30,000
    খ)
    Tk. 50,000
    গ)
    Tk. 60,000
    ঘ)
    Tk. 90,000

    Explanation

    Let savings in N.S.C and P.P.F. be Tk. x and Tk. (150000 - x) respectively. Then, (1/3)x = 1/2(150000 - x) => x/3 + x/2 = 75000 => 5x/6 = 75000 =>x=(75000 x 6)/5 = 90000 So, Savings in Public Provident Fund = Tk. (150000 - 90000) = Tk. 60000
