D Correct answer
Explanation

Harry's age = 8 years 4 months = 100 months. Jack's age = 6 years 3 months = 75 months. Ratio = 100:75 = 4:3. Harry's share = (4 / (4+3)) * 3500 = (4/7) * 3500 = 2000.

AI explanation

Convert the ages into months to find the accurate ratio. Harry's age is (8 * 12) + 4 = 100 months, and Jack's age is (6 * 12) + 3 = 75 months, making their age ratio 100 : 75, which simplifies to 4 : 3. Harry's share of the Rs. 3500 is calculated as (4 / 7) * 3500. This simplifies to 4 * 500, giving Harry an amount of Rs. 2000.
