Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: (A) 837

Raj's share × (1.08)¹⁴ = Varun's share × (1.08)¹⁵, so Raj's share : Varun's share = 1.08 : 1. Dividing ₹1612 in ratio 1.08:1 (i.e., 27:25) gives Raj's share = ₹837.

सही उत्तर: (A) 837

राज का भाग × (1.08)¹⁴ = वरुण का भाग × (1.08)¹⁵, अतः राज : वरुण = 1.08 : 1 (यानी 27:25)। ₹1612 को इस अनुपात में बांटने पर राज का भाग = ₹837 प्राप्त होता है।
