Question

Rs. 20 is the true discount on Rs. 260 due after a certain time. What will be the true discount on the same sum due after half of the former time, the rate of interest being the same?

Options:

A . Rs. 10

B . Rs. 10.40

C . Rs. 15.20

D . Rs. 13

Answer: Option B

S.I. on Rs. (260 - 20) for a given time = Rs. 20.

S.I. on Rs. 240 for half the time = Rs. 10.

T.D. on Rs. 250 = Rs. 10.

Therefore T.D. on Rs. 260 = Rs. \(\left(\frac{10}{250}\times260\right) = Rs. 10.40\)
