-6300*1.42 + x*1.48 = 618

the above equals about 6,462, but I'm not sure I followed the question well.

I'll take a stab at this question.

If we see, the $618 that Suhit is earning, he is earning it from the difference in the interest amount from the two transactions.

We know that:
Amount lent by Vikas (V) to Suhit (S) = $6300
Amount lent by S to Mohit (M) = $6300 + $x

From the question, we know that
Interest on amount from V to S = 14% for 3 years.
Hence, interest = (6300 * 14 * 3)/100

Interest on amount from S to M = 14% for 3 years
Hence, interest = ((6300+x) * 16 * 3)/100

The difference between these two expressions is $618
((6300+x) * 16 * 3)/100 - (6300 * 14 * 3)/100 = 618
48x = 240*100
x = 500

Hence, the amount that Suhit lent to Mohit = $6300 + $500 = $6800
