      Question

      A sum was invested in scheme β€˜A’ for 4 years at

      simple interest of 10% per annum. Had it been invested in scheme β€˜B’ at simple interest of 9% per annum for 6 years, the interest earned would have been Rs. 1,680 more. What is the amount invested?
      A Rs. 10,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B Rs. 13,500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C Rs. 11,500 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D Rs. 12,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the sum = Rs. β€˜x’

      According to the question,

      (x Γ— 9% Γ— 6) – (x Γ— 10% Γ— 4) = 1680

      Or, 0.54x – 0.40x = 1680

      Or, 0.14x = 1680

      Or, x = 12000

      So, the sum = Rs. 12,000
