Answer / prajakta

Answer 1.
case 1: RS. 40,400
case 2: RS. 43,200
case 3: Rs. 45,000
Now annual interest is 9%,
He gets 2628 interest in bank for 2nd option if he
deposits the rest amount i.e.,
(40400-20000) and (40400-(20000+11600)) in bank. But
40400+2628=43028<43200 i.e., even if he adds the interest
got in bank to the original(40400); amount he has to pay is
more than that. Therefore 2nd would be a wrong choice. In
3rd option he gets interest in bank as Rs4158 n
40400+4158=44558<45000.
Therefore 1st option is the best.

so. remaining RS. 20.000+2X(11,600)

Answer / moxda

case A: 40,400 (CASH)
case B: 45,288 [2(11,600* 9%)= (20,000+12,644+12,644)]
case C: 47,700 [3(10,000* 9%)= (15,000+10,900+10,900+10,900)]

so most attractive option is case 'C'

Ali Baba had four sons, to whom he bequeathed his 39 camels, with the proviso that the legacy be divided in the following way : The oldest son was to receive one half the property, the next a quarter, the third an eighth and the youngest one tenth. The four brothers were at a loss as how to divide the inheritance among themselves without cutting up a camel, until a stranger appeared upon the scene. Dismounting from his camel, he asked if he might help, for he knew just what to do. The brothers gratefully accepted his offer. Adding his own camel to Ali Baba's 39, he divided the 40 as per the will. The oldest son received 20, the next 10, the third 5 and the youngest 4. One camel remained : this was his, which he mounted and rode away. Scratching their heads in amazement, they started calculating. The oldest thought : is not 20 greater than the half of 39? Someone must have received less than his proper share ! But each brother discovered that he had received more than his due. How is it possible?
