Answer : 4. "Rs.5000"
Explanation :
Answer: D) Rs.5000 Explanation: Let a, b and c be the amounts invested in schemes X, Y and Z respectively. Then, As we know: Simple interest (S.I.) = PTR/100 (a × 10 × 1/100) + (b × 12 × 1/100) + (c × 15 × 1/100) = 3200 = 10a + 12b + 15c = 320000 .........(1) Now, c = 240% of b = 12b/5 .........(2) And, c = 150% of a = 3a/2 => a = 2/3 c = (2 × 12)b/(3 × 5) = 8b/5 .......(3) From (1), (2) and (3), we have 16b + 12b + 36b = 320000 => 64b = 320000 => b = 5000 ∴ Sum invested in Scheme Y = Rs.5000.

Answer : 4. "Rs. 32,292"
Explanation :
Answer: D) Rs. 32,292 Explanation: Almond Selling price = CP(1 + P%/100) => CP = 20000, SP = 23000 => 23000 = 20000 (1 + P/100) => P% = 100(23000/20000 - 1) = 15 Then, Olive's P% = 30% SP for Olive = CP for Sarah = 23000(1 + 30/100) = 29900 Now Sarah wants to earn profit of 8% => Sp for Sarah = 29900(1 + 8/100) = Rs. 32,292.
