    B Rs 40,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs 50,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D Rs 30,000 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Amount given to sons = 126150 × (1/2) = 63075 Amount given to Bhusan = x (let) Therefore, Amount given to Aman = (63075 – x) A = P [1 + (R/100)]T = (63075 - x) [1 + (R/100)]3  = x [1 + (R/100)] 5 = (63075 – x) = x [1 + (R/100)]2 (63075 – x) = x [1 + (5/100)]2 (63075 – x) = x [1 + (1/20)]2 (63075 – x) = x (21/20)2 (63075 – x) = 441x/400   63075 = (441x + 400x)/400   x = (63075 x 400)/841 = Rs 30,000
