    Explanation

    Let the amount invested in scheme A at a rate of interest 8% p.c.p.a be P Investment in scheme B at a rate of interest 9% p.c.p.a = 27000 – P In Compound Interest, A=P(1+r100)nA = P{\left. {\left( {1 + \frac{r}{{100}}} \right.} \right)^n} Where A is Amount after n years, P is Principal, r is Rate of Interest and n is the number of years. Amount due to scheme A=P(1+8100)2=1.082 P=1.1664 PA = P{\left. {\left( {1 + \frac{8}{{100}}} \right.} \right)^2} = 1.08^2\ P = 1.1664\ P -------------------- (A) Amount due to scheme A=(27000−P)(1+9100)2=32078.70−1.1881 PA = \left( {27000 - P} \right){\left. {\left( {1 + \frac{9}{{100}}} \right.} \right)^2} = 32078.70-1.1881\ P ----- (B) ⇒ Total Interest = Total Amount – Total Principal ⇒ 4818.30 = (1.1664P + 32078.70 – 1.881P) – 27000 ⇒ 0.0217P = 260.40 ⇒ P = 12000 ∴The amount invested in scheme A is Rs. 12000.
