    Solution

    ATQ, Let, the amount invested by "P"in banks ‘Axis’, ‘State’ and ‘Pnb’ be Rs.'a', Rs.'s' and Rs.'p' respectively. Now, (a × 8 × 2/100):(s × 12 × 2/100):{p(11/10)2- p} = 16:16:35 Or, 16a:24s:21p = 16:16:35 Or, a:s:p = 3:2:5 Amount invested by him in PNB bank  = (5/10) × 100000 = Rs.50000
