    interest at a rate of 25% per annum for a period of 3 years, resulting in an interest amount of Rs. X. He then invested Rs.

    E None of these Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    ATQ,


    (2X-50) * (1 + (20/2)/100)² = 3630

    (2X-50) * (110/100)² = 3630

    2X - 50 = 3000

    X = 3050/2 = Rs.1525

    Let the amount invested in SIP A be Rs.'y'.

    y * (1 + 25/100)³ – y = 1525

    y * (125/100)³ – y = 1525

    125y – 64y = 1525 * 64

    y = Rs.1600
