Hi,

divide 44,200 between ram and john 

so that ram's share at the end of 6years may be equal to john's share at the end of 4 years 

rate of interest being 10 per cent compounded yearly

 x(1.10)^6 = (44200-x)(1.10)^4

 (1.10)^2x = (44200-x)

  1.21x = 44200-x

  2.21x = 44200

      x = $20,000, Ram's principal.  John's is $24,200,

 Ram's share at the end of 6 years = John's share at the end of 4 years





Since the interest rates are same



the interest rates are same = 10 % their investment will be in the ratio of 6:4



ie 3:2



Ram will have to invest more than John

Total 5 parts of 44200



one part = 44200/5 = 8840



One part = 8840, 2 parts = 17680



Balance will be 44200-17680 = 26520



Ram invests 17680 & john invests 26520
