Step-by-Step Solution
Over its whole term the first scheme returns of the money put in and the second . Equal interest needs , so A : : 4 and = ₹36000. (Check: = ₹10800 and = ₹10800.) ₹27000 is the other scheme's share — the ratio read the wrong way up; ₹31500 splits the money down the middle, which would be right only if the two schemes had equal rate-times; and ₹28000 comes from equalising on the RATES alone and forgetting that the terms differ.
Answer: D) 36000
