Solution
Let share of A = Rs. y
share of B = Rs (28,730 - y)
rate of interest = 10%
According to question,
Amount of A in 3 years = Amount of B in 5 years
⇒ `y( 1 + 10/100 )^3 = ( 28,730 - y)( 1 + 10/100 )^5`
⇒ `y = ( 28,730 - y )( 1 + 10/100)^2`
⇒ `y = ( 28,730 - y )( 121/100)`
⇒ 100y = 121(28,730 - y)
⇒ 100y + 121y = 121 × 28,730
⇒ 221y = 121 × 28,730
⇒ y = `[ 121 xx 28,730]/[221]` = Rs. 15,730
Therefore, share of A = Rs. 15,730
Share of B = Rs. 28,730 - Rs. 15,730 = Rs. 13,000
