Question

Mr. Dua invested money in two schemes A and B offering compound interest @ 8 p.c.p.a. and 9  p.c.p.a. respectively . if the total amount of interest accrued through two schemes together in two years was Rs.  4818.30  and the total amount invested was Rs. 27,000 what was the amount invested in   Scheme A ?


Options:
A .  Rs. 12,000
B .  Rs. 13,500
C .  Rs. 15,000
D .  Cannot be determined
E .  None of these
Answer: Option A

Let he investment in scheme  A be Rs. `x`.

Then , investment in scheme B = Rs. (27000 - `x`).

`:.`  ` [x xx {(1 + 8/100)^2 - 1} + (27000 x){(1 + 9/100)^2 - 1}]` =  4818 .30

`hArr     (x xx 104/625) + (1881(27000 -x))/(10000) = 481830/100`

`hArr     1664x + 1881(27000 - x) =  48183000`

`hArr     (1881x - 1664x = (50787000 - 48183000)`

`hArr     217x = 2604000`

`hArr       2604000/217` =  12000

`x` = 12000.
