    Solution

    ATQ,

    The amount invested in scheme A and scheme B is Rs. ‘x’ and Rs. ‘y’ respectively. According to question, x – y = 500 --------(i) Also, x × 6% × 5 – y × 9% × 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
