Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is option 1 i.e. A = Rs 36,300, B = Rs 30,000

Let the amount given to A be x and B be y.

Thus, x × (1.1)8 = y × (1.1)10

⇒ x/y = 121/100

Rs 66300 has to be divided between A and B in a ratio 121:100

Thus, A gets Rs 36,300 and B gets Rs. 30,000
