Detailed Solution & Logic

Let amount given to Vijay = $ x $
Then amount given to Ajay = $ 1617 - x $
Rate = 10% p.a. (compound annually)
Time: Vijay → 15 years, Ajay → 16 years}
Final amounts are equal:
$ x (1.1)^{15} = (1617 - x)(1.1)^{16} $
Divide both sides by (1.1)^{15}: $
$ x = (1617 - x) \cdot 1.1 $
$ x = 1778.7 - 1.1x $
$ x + 1.1x = 1778.7 $
$ 2.1x = 1778.7 $
$ x = \frac{1778.7}{2.1} = 847 $
Answer = ₹847
