      Solution


      Total money invested in two schemes = Rs.7000
      Let, money invested in scheme A =Rs. X
      Money invested in Scheme B = Rs. (7000-X)
      According to the condition
      (X*10*3) / 100 + [(7000-X) *14*2]/100 = 2040
      30X + (7000-X) *28 = 204000
      2X + 196000 = 204000
      2X = 8000
      X = Rs.4000
      money invested in scheme A =Rs.4000
      Money invested in Scheme B = Rs. (7000-X) = Rs. (7000-4000) = Rs.3000
      Difference between the amount he invested in scheme A and Scheme B = 4000-3000 = Rs.1000
