Correct answer: (C) 837
Since Ashish's amount grows for 1 extra year at 8%, Varun's share must be 1.08 times Ashish's share; solving with V+A=1612 gives Varun ≈ ₹837.

सही उत्तर: (C) 837
चूँकि आशीष की राशि 1 अतिरिक्त वर्ष के लिए 8% पर बढ़ती है, इसलिए वरुण का हिस्सा आशीष के हिस्से का 1.08 गुना होना चाहिए; V+A=1612 हल करने पर वरुण ≈ ₹837 प्राप्त होता है।
