    Solution

    ATQ,

    The amount invested in scheme A and scheme B is Rs. β€˜x’ and Rs. β€˜y’ respectively. According to question, x – y = 500 --------(i) Also, x Γ— 6% Γ— 5 – y Γ— 9% Γ— 2 = 72 0.3x – 0.18y = 72 ----------(ii) Solving both equations, we get, x = 1500 and y = 1000 Therefore, total amount invested in both schemes combined = 1500 + 1000 = Rs. 2500
