    D Rs.5500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ, Amount after 3 years at 10% CI = Y × (1.1)3 = Y × 1.331 Split into Scheme C and D (7:3): Scheme C = 1.331Y × 7/10 = 0.9317Y Scheme D = 1.331Y × 3/10 = 0.3993Y Interest from Scheme C (SI @12% for 2 yrs) = 0.9317Y × 12 × 2 / 100 = 0.2236Y Interest from Scheme D (CI @18% for 2 yrs) = 0.3993Y × [(1.18)^2 – 1] = 0.3993Y × 0.3924 = 0.1566Y Total Interest = 1584 0.2236Y + 0.1566Y = 1584 0.3802Y = 1584 Y = 1584 / 0.3802 = ₹4165.87 or approx ₹4165
