    Solution

    ATQ, Simple interest = (sum ├Ч rate of interest ├Ч time period in year) ├╖ 100 Let the sum invested be Rs. 'S' So, 1850 - S = (S ├Ч 8 ├Ч 6) ├╖ 100 Or, 1850 - S = 0.48S Or, 1850 = 1.48S So, S = 1250 Amount received from second investment = Sum ├Ч {1 + (rate/100)}Time period So, required amount = 1250 ├Ч {1 + (20/100)}2┬а = 1.44 ├Ч 1250┬а = Rs. 1,800
