Solution

Let the sum of money lent by both Rs. y
For Anuj
P = Rs.y ; rate = 8% and time = 2 years

∴ S.I. = `[ "P" xx "R" xx "T" ]/100 = [ y xx 8 xx 2 ]/100 = (4y)/25`

 For Rajesh
P = Rs. y ; rate = 8% and time = 2 years

∴ C.I. = P`[(1 + r/100)^n - 1] = y[( 1 + 8/100)^2 - 1] = (104y)/(625)`

Given : C.I. - Rs. 64

⇒ `(104y)/(625) - (4y)/(25) = 64`

⇒ `(4y)/(625) = 64`

⇒ `y = [64 xx 625]/4`  = Rs. 10,000

Interest received by Anuj = `[ 4 xx 10,000 ]/25` = Rs. 1600

Interest received by Rajesh = `[ 104 xx 10,000 ]/625` = Rs. 1664.
