    Question

    Veer has Rs. 1617 with him. He divided it amongst his sons Nitin and Pravin and asked them to invest it at 10% rate of interest compounded annually. It was seen that Nitin and Pravin got same amount after 16 and 17 years respectively. How much (in Rs. ) did Veer give to Nitin?

    A.

    847

    B.

    697

    C.

    870

    D.

    770

    Correct option is A

    Given:
    Total amount = ₹1617
    Rate of compound interest = 10% per annum
    Nitin’s time = 16 years
    Pravin’s time = 17 years
    Both received the same amount.
    Formula Used:
    Compound Amount (A)=P×(1+R100)T\text{Compound Amount } (A) = P \times \left(1 + \frac{R}{100}\right)^T​​
    Solution:
    Let Nitin’s investment = P₁ and Pravin’s investment = P₂
     P₁ + P₂ = 1617 ...(i)
    Since both get the same amount,
    P₁ × (1.1)16 = P₂ × (1.1)17
    Divide both sides by (1.1)16:
    P₁ = P₂ × 1.1
    Substitute in (i): 1.1P₂ + P₂ = 1617
    2.1P₂ = 1617
    P₂ = 1617 ÷ 2.1 = 770
    P₁ = 1.1 × 770 = 847
