  1. Step-by-step explanation:

    (i) Let share of Jhon = Rs y

    Share of Smith = Rs (44,200 – y)

    Rate of interest = 10%

    According to question

    Amount of Jhon in 4 years = Amount of Smith in 2 years

    ⇒y(1+

    100

    10

    )

    4

    −(44,200−y)(1+

    100

    10

    )

    2

    ⇒y(1+

    100

    10

    )

    2

    =(44,200−y)

    ⇒y(

    10

    11

    )

    2

    =(44,200−y)

    ⇒121y=100(44,200−y)

    ⇒121y=100×44,200−100y

    ⇒121y+100y=100×44,200

    ⇒221y=100×44,200

    ⇒y=

    221

    100×44,200

    =Rs20,000

    ∴ Share of John = Rs 20,000

    Share of Smith = Rs 44,200 – Rs 20,000

    = Rs 24,200
