    C Rs.40,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs.90,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ;
    Interest received from SIP ‘A’ = x(1 + 16/100) ² – x = Rs. 0.3456x

    Interest received from SIP ‘B’ = {(2x – 5000) × 0.48 × 5} = Rs. (4.8x – 12000)

    According to the question,

    0.3456x + 4.8x – 12000 = 65184

    Or, 5.1456x = 77184

    Or, x = 15000

    Therefore, total sum invested = x + 2x – 5000 = Rs.40,000
