Mr. Thomas invested an amount of Rs. 13,900 divided in two different schemes A and B at the simple interest rate of 14% p.a. and 11% p.a. respectively. If the total amount of simple interest earned in 2 years be Rs. 3508, what was the amount invested in scheme B? Choose the correct choice from the following options.
A) 6400	B) 2878	C) 2899	D) 2660	E) 2701
Let the sum invested in scheme A be Rs. x and that in scheme B be Rs. (13900 - x). Then,   (x * 14 * 2)/100 + [(13900 - x) * 11 * 2]/100 = 3508   28x - 22x = 350800 - (13900 * 22)   6x = 45000 =&gt; x = 7500   So, sum invested in scheme B = (13900 - 7500) = Rs. 6400.6400nswer:6400
