Answer : 1. "Rs. 6000"
Explanation :
Answer: A) Rs. 6000 Explanation: Let the sum invested be Rs. P Let the rate of interest be R% per annum => Interest earned for 5 years = (P x 5 x R/100) = PR/20 Now, given that the interest earned increased by Rs. 600 if the Rate increased to (R+2)% => SI = (P x 5 x (R+2))/100 = PR/20 + 10P/100 Hence, PR/20 + 10P/100 = PR/20 + 600 => P = 6000 Therefore, the sum invested is Rs. 6000

Answer : 3. "Rs. 9000"
Explanation :
Answer: C) Rs. 9000 Explanation: Let Rs. K invested in each scheme Two years C.I on 20% = 20 + 20 + 20x20/100 = 44% Two years C.I on 15% = 15 + 15 + 15x15/100 = 32.25% Now, (P x 44/100) - (P x 32.25/100) = 528.75 => 11.75 P = 52875 => P = Rs. 4500 Hence, total invested money = P + P = 4500 + 4500 = Rs. 9000.
