Q:

The banker's discount of a certain sum of money is Rs. 72 and the true discount on the

same sum for the same time is Rs. 60. The sum due is:

A) 290 B) 480
C) 360 D) 420

Answer:   C) 360



Explanation:

Sum =(B.D. x T.D.)/(B.D. - T.D.)

       = Rs. (72 x 60) / (72 - 60)

       = Rs. (72 x 60) /12

       = Rs. 360.

Q:

The true discount on a bill of Rs. 2160 is Rs. 360. What is the banker's discount?

A) Rs. 432 B) Rs. 422
C) Rs. 412 D) Rs. 442
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) Rs. 432

Explanation:

F = Rs. 2160

TD = Rs. 360

PW = F - TD = 2160 - 360 = Rs. 1800

True Discount is the Simple Interest on the present value for unexpired time

=>Simple Interest on Rs. 1800 for unexpired time = Rs. 360

Banker's Discount is the Simple Interest on the face value of the bill for unexpired time

= Simple Interest on Rs. 2160 for unexpired time

=(360/1800)* 2160

= (1/5) * 2160

=Rs. 432

Q:

The banker's discount on a certain sum due 2 years hence is11/10of the true discount.

The rate percent is:

A) 10% B) 7%
C) 8% D) 5%

Let T.D. be Re. 1.

Then, B.D. = Rs.11/10= Rs. 1.10.

Sum = Rs. (1.10*1)/(1.10-1) = Rs. (110/10)= Rs. 11.

S.I. on Rs. 11 for 2 years is Rs. 1.10

Rate = [(100 x 1.10)/(11 x 2 )]% = 5%.
