    ****************************************************************************************************************
    An equal sum is invested for seven years in scheme A offering simple interest at x% pa and in scheme B for two years offering compound interest at 10% pa (compounded annually).The interest earned from scheme A is thrice of the interest earned from scheme B.Had the rate of interest been (x-4)% simple interest per annum in scheme A ,the difference in the interest earned from both the schemes would have been Rs 700.What was the sum invested in each of the schemes?
