The amount invested in SIP 'A' was Rs. 400 more than the amount invested in SIP 'B'.

    Solution

    ATQ, The amount invested in SIP 'A' and SIP  'B' is Rs. ‘a’ and Rs. ‘b’ respectively. ATQ, a – b = 400 --------(i) Also, a × 5% × 4 – b × 8% × 3 = 48 0.2a – 0.24b = 48 ----------(ii) Solving both equations, we get, a = 1200 and b = 800 Therefore, total amount invested in both SIP's together = 1200 + 800 = Rs. 2000
