Rajinder divided Rs 1301 between his sons Santa and Banta, who invested it at 4% annual compound interest. Each son received the same amount after 17 and 19 years respectively. How much was given to Banta?

Banta was given Rs 625.

Equal maturity means S x (1.04)^17 = B x (1.04)^19.

So S = B x (1.04)^2 = B x 1.0816, giving S : B = 676 : 625.

Total parts = 676 + 625 = 1301, which matches Rs 1301.

Since 1301 parts equal Rs 1301, Banta gets Rs 625.
