Answer:

  5%

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to know the interest rate Milind was charged if ₹4000 was lent to Anand at x% and ₹5000 was lent to Milind at (x+.5)% for a total amount of simple interest after 2 years of ₹860.

Interest

The interest in each case is computed as ...

  I = Prt

where P is the amount of the loan at rate r for t years.

If m is Milind's interest rate, then we have ...

  860 = 4000(m-0.5%)(2) +5000m(2)

  860 = 18000m -40

  900 = 18000m

  m = 900/18000 = 0.05

Milind's interest rate was 5%.
