Correct answer: (C) 837
Since both amounts grow to the same value, Varun's share × 1.0818 = Ashish's share × 1.0819, so Varun's share = 1.08 × Ashish's share; solving with total ₹1612 gives Varun's share = ₹837.

सही उत्तर: (C) 837
चूंकि दोनों राशियां समान मूल्य तक बढ़ती हैं, वरुण का हिस्सा × 1.0818 = आशीष का हिस्सा × 1.0819, इसलिए वरुण का हिस्सा = 1.08 × आशीष का हिस्सा; कुल ₹1612 के साथ हल करने पर वरुण का हिस्सा = ₹837 प्राप्त होता है।
