Correct answer: (A) 847
If both amounts grow equal after 15 and 16 years at 10%, the ratio of principals is 11:10 (since amount2/amount1 = 1.1). Splitting 1617 in ratio 11:10 gives Vijay's share = 1617 × 11/21 = 847.

सही उत्तर: (A) 847
यदि दोनों राशियाँ 15 और 16 वर्षों बाद 10% पर बराबर हो जाती हैं, तो मूलधनों का अनुपात 11:10 होगा। 1617 को 11:10 के अनुपात में बाँटने पर विजय का हिस्सा = 1617 × 11/21 = 847।
