  • Question
  • Divide ? 2602 between M and N, so that the amount of M after 7 yr is equal to the amount of N after 9 yr, the interest being compounded at 4% pa.


  • Options
  • A. ? 1352, ? 1250
  • B. ? 1400, ? 1350
  • C. ?1415, ?1300
  • D. ?1500, ?1450

  • Correct Answer
  • ? 1352, ? 1250 

    Explanation

    Let the first part be ? M .
    Then , second part = (2602 - M)
    According to the question,
    M(1 + 4/100)4 = (2602 - M) (1+4/100)9
    ? M/(2602 - M) = [(1 + 4/100)9]/[(1 + 4/100)7]
    ? M/(2602 - M) = (1 + 4/100)2 = (26/25) x (26/25) = 676/625
    ? 625M = 676 x 2602 - 676M
    ? 1301M = 676 x 2602
    ? M = (676 x 2602)/1301 = 676 x 2 = 1352
    ? The two parts are ? 1352 and ? (2602 - 1352) = ? 1250
