Interest on Borrowed amount=I1
=P1*R1*T1
=830*(12/100)*3........................................(i)
Interest on lent amount=I2
=x*(14/100)*3............................................(ii)
Interest gain=Ig=93.90=I2-I1.................(iii)
93.90=[x*(14/100)*3]-[830*(12/100)*3].............from (i),(ii),(iii)
x=935
so ans is Raheem lent 935 rupees to Rahul
