Q:

If the discount on Rs. 498 at 5% simple interest is Rs.18, when is the sum due?

A) 8 months	B) 11 months
C) 10 months	D) 9 months

Answer & Explanation Answer: D) 9 months

Explanation:

F = Rs. 498

TD = Rs. 18

PW = F - TD = 498 - 18 = Rs. 480

R = 5%

$T D = \frac{P W \times T R}{100}$

$\Rightarrow 18 = \frac{480 \times T \times 5}{100}$

=> T = 3/4 years = 9 months

Q:

What is the difference between the banker's discount and the true discount on Rs.8100 for 3 months at 5%

A) Rs. 2	B) Rs. 1.25
C) Rs. 2.25	D) Rs. 0.5

Answer & Explanation Answer: B) Rs. 1.25

Explanation:

F = Rs. 8100

R = 5%

T = 3 months = 1/4 years

$B D = \frac{F T R}{100} = \frac{8100 \times \frac{1}{4} \times 5}{100} = R s . 101.25$

$T D = \frac{F T R}{100 + T R} = \frac{8100 \times \frac{1}{4} \times 5}{100 + (\frac{1}{4} \times 5)} = R s . 100$

Therefore BD - TD = 101.25-100 = Rs.1.25

Q:

The B.G. on a certain sum 4 years hence at 5% is Rs. 200. What is the present worth?

A) Rs. 4500	B) Rs. 6000
C) Rs. 5000	D) Rs. 4000

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Rs. 5000

Explanation:

T = 4 years

R = 5%

Banker's Gain, BG = Rs.200

$T D = \frac{B G \times 100}{T R} = \frac{200 \times 100}{4 \times 5} = R s . 1000$

$T D = \sqrt{P W \times B G}$

$\Rightarrow 1000 = \sqrt{P W \times 200}$

=>PW = Rs.5000

A) Rs. 432	B) Rs. 422
C) Rs. 412	D) Rs. 442
