B. Rs. 8200
C. Rs. 8400
D. Rs. 8800
Answer: Option A
Solution(By Examveda Team)
Let the share of the younger and elder sons be Rs. x and Rs. (16400 - x)Then, amount of Rs. x after 3 years = Amount of Rs. (16400 - x) after 2 years
$$\eqalign{ & \Rightarrow x{\left( {1 + \frac{5}{{100}}} \right)^3} = \left( {16400 - x} \right){\left( {1 + \frac{5}{{100}}} \right)^2} \cr & \Rightarrow x\left( {1 + \frac{5}{{100}}} \right) = \left( {16400 - x} \right) \cr & \Rightarrow \frac{{21x}}{{20}} + x = 16400 \cr & \Rightarrow \frac{{41x}}{{20}} = 16400 \cr & \Rightarrow x = \left( {\frac{{16400 \times 20}}{{41}}} \right) \cr & \Rightarrow x = 8000 \cr} $$
