    Question

    Rs. R is invested in a scheme offering 200/4% p.a. for 2

    years. The total amount received is Rs. 36,300. If Rs. (R + 2,700) is invested in another scheme offering 18% p.a. for 2 years under simple interest, find the total interest earned.
    A Rs. 6,912 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs. 7,128 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs. 7,344 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs. 7,560 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Rs. 9,684 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    R × (200/400) × 2 = 36300 – R Or, (R/2) + R = 36300 Or, (3R/2) = 36300 Or, R = 36300 × (2/3) So, R = 24,200 Required interest = (R + 2700) × (18/100) × 2 = (24200 + 2700) × (18/100) × 2 = 26,900 × (9/25) = Rs. 9,684 Correct Option: e) Rs. 9,684
