Solution

Let's denote the amount of money Manish invested as M. According to the problem, Kamal invested 25% more than Manish, so Kamal's investment is 1.25M.

The total interest they received after 2 years is Rs. 1967. This interest is the sum of the interests each of them received on their respective investments.

The formula for compound interest is A = P(1 + r/n)^(nt), where:

  • A is the amount of money accumulated after n years, including interest.
  • P is the principal amount (the initial amount of money).
  • r is the annual interest rate (in decimal).
  • n is the number of times that interest is compounded per year.
  • t is the time the money is invested for in years.

In this case, interest is compounded annually (n=1), and the time of investment is 2 years (t=2). So, the formula simplifies to A = P(1 + r)^2.

We know that the total amount A is the initial investment plus the interest, so the interest I can be calculated as I = A - P. Substituting A from the formula, we get I = P(1 + r)^2 - P.

For Kamal, the interest is Ik = 1.25M(1 + 0.10)^2 - 1.25M. For Manish, the interest is Im = M(1 + 0.20)^2 - M.

The total interest is the sum of the interests each of them received, so 1967 = Ik + Im.

Solving this equation will give us the value of M, and then we can find the total investment as M + 1.25M.

Let's solve it:

1.25M(1 + 0.10)^2 - 1.25M + M(1 + 0.20)^2 - M = 1967 1.25M(1.21) - 1.25M + M(1.44) - M = 1967 1.5125M - 1.25M + 1.44M - M = 1967 0.2625M + 0.44M = 1967 0.7025M = 1967 M = 1967 / 0.7025 ≈ 2800

So, the total investment is M + 1.25M = 2800 + 1.25*2800 = 2800 + 3500 = 6300.

Therefore, the total amount that both have invested is Rs. 6300. So, the correct answer is 3) 6300.
