Let the number be x.
⇒ x = 899q + 63 where q is the quotient.
⇒ x = 899q + 58 + 5
= 29(31q + 2) + 5
Hence, when x is divided by 29, the remainder is 5.
Since, the sum becomes three times
in 8 yr.
∴3P - P = (P x R x 8)/100 =>2 = 8R/100.
R= 200/8 = 25%.
Again, in 12 yr let sum becomes n times,
then nP - P = (P x 25 x 12)/100 .
=> n-l=3
=> n=4 times
