  • Question
  • A father divided his property between his two sons A and B. A invests the amount at compound interest of 8% per annum and B invests the amount at 10% per annum simple interest. At the end of 2 yr, the interest received by B is ? 1336 more than the interest received by A. Find the share of A in the father's property of ? 25000.?


  • Options
  • A. ? 12000
  • B. ? 13000
  • C. ? 12500
  • D. ? 10000

  • Correct Answer
  • ? 10000 

    Explanation

    Suppose A gets ? P and B gets ? (25000 - P).
    Interest received by A at the rate of 8% per annum CI
    = P(1 + 8/100)2 - P
    = P(27/25)2 - P
    = 104P/625

    Interest received by B at the rate of 10% per annum SI
    = [(25000 - P) x 10 x 2]/100 = (25000 - P)/5

    According to the question,
    (25000 - P)/5 = 104P/(625 + 1336)
    ? P = 10000
