Dinesh divided Rs.88400 between his son and a daughter in such a way that the amount his son receives at the end of 7 years is equal to the amount his daughter receives at the end of 9 years, rate of compound interest being 10% per annum. How much money has he deposited in the bank (in Rs.) in the name of his daughter? Correct Answer 40000
Given:
Rate = 10%
Amount = 88400
Formula used:
Amount(A) = Principal(P)(1 + Rate(R)/100)Time(t)
Calculation:
Let the principal of son be x, and daughter be (88400 - x)
Amount of son for 7 years = Amount of daughter of 9 years at same rate
⇒ x(1 + 10/100)7 = (88400 - x)(1 + 10/100)9
⇒ x/(88400 - x) = (1 + 10/100)2
⇒ x/(88400 - x) = 11 × 11/100
⇒ 100 x = 121(88400 - x)
⇒ 221x = 121 × 88400
⇒ x = 48400
Daughter amount = 88400 - 48400
⇒ 40000
∴ The daughter deposit amount is Rs 40000.
