    15% p.a. simple interest for 4 years in an FD and the rest at 20% p.a. simple interest for 3 years in SIP. If the total amount received by him is Rs. 6800, then find the sum invested at 20% p.a. simple interest.
    A Rs.3400 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs.3450 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs.2400 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.1400 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
