Question

Amisha invested a total of ₹45000 in two different schemes A and B at 4% and 5% respectively. Altogether her gain was ₹2000. Find out the amount she invested in Scheme A.

• A. ₹32500
• B. ₹20000
• C. ₹25000
• D. ₹45000

Answer 1

The correct option is C ₹25000

Let the amount invested in scheme A be ₹x and that in scheme B be ₹y.
x + y = ₹45000 ..........(i) $\times$ 5
$\frac{4x}{100}+\frac{5y}{100}$ = ₹2000
$\Rightarrow$ 4x + 5y = ₹200000 ........(ii)
Solving (i) and (ii) we get :
5x + 5y = ₹225000
4x + 5y = ₹200000
-----------------------
x = ₹25000
So, Amount invested in scheme A = x = ₹25000
