    A total of Rs. 14,500 is divided between two individuals, 'A' and 'B', in the proportion 16:13. If 'B' decides to invest his share in a financial scheme that yields a compound interest of 20% per annum, compounded annually, what will be the value of 'B's investment after two years?

    A Rs. 9840 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Rs. 10200 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Rs. 9360 Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
