    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ Let amount invested in scheme ‘K’ and scheme ‘L’ be Rs. ‘10u’ and Rs. ‘7u’, respectively. So, 0.11 × 2 × 10u + 0.42 × 7u = 4026.4 Or, 2.2u + 2.94u = 4026.4 Or, 5.14u = 4026.4 Or, u = 783.23 So, Q = (10 × 783.23 + 7 × 783.23)/(1.07 × 1.07 × 1.07 × 1.07 × 1.07) = Rs. 7000
