The correct Answer is:
A

शेष राशि = `84100 xx 50/100 = ₹ 42050`
माना कि B का हिस्सा ₹x है।
`therefore` A का हिस्सा = ₹ 42050 - x
`(42050 - x) (1 + r/100)^3 = x xx (1 + r/100)^5`
`implies (42050 - x) = x xx (1 + 5/100)^2`
`implies 42050 - x = (441 x)/(400)`
`implies 42050 xx 400 = 841 x`
`implies x = (42050 xx 400)/(841)`
`implies x = ₹20000 `
