Answer: Option A. -> 5%
$$\eqalign{
& {\text{Let}}\,{\text{Banker's}}\,{\text{Discount}} \cr
& = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\,10 \cr
& {\text{Then,}}\,{\text{Banker's}}\,{\text{Gain}} \cr
& = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\,\frac{1}{5} \times 10 \cr
& = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\,2 \cr
& T.D. = \left( {B.D. - B.G.} \right) \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = \left( {10 - 2} \right) \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\,8 \cr
& {\text{Sum}} = \frac{{10 \times 8}}{{10 - 8}} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = \frac{{80}}{2} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\,40 \cr} $$
S.I. on Rs. 40 for 2.5 year is Rs. 10
$$\eqalign{
& {\text{Therefore,}} \cr
& {\text{Rate}} = \frac{{100 \times 10}}{{40 \times 2.5}} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = 10\% \cr} $$
Question 12. The banker’s gain on a bill due 2 years hence at 10% per annum is Rs.10. What is the true discount?
  1.    Rs. 20
  2.    Rs. 30
  3.    Rs. 40
  4.    Rs. 50
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Rs. 50
$$\eqalign{
& T.D. = \frac{{B.G. \times 100}}{{R \times T}} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = \frac{{10 \times 100}}{{10 \times 2}} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\,50 \cr} $$
Question 13. If the banker’s discount on a certain amount of money is Rs. 80 and the true discount on the same amount for the same time duration is Rs. 64, then the amount due is:
  1.    310
  2.    320
  3.    330
  4.    340
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 320
$$\eqalign{
& {\text{Amount}}\,{\text{Due}} \cr
& = \frac{{B.D. \times T.D.}}{{B.D. - T.D.}} \cr
& = \frac{{80 \times 64}}{{80 - 64}} \cr
& = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\,320 \cr} $$
Question 14. Find the banker’s gain, if the present worth of a certain amount is Rs.2400 and the true discount is Rs.120.
  1.    5
  2.    7
  3.    6
  4.    8
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 7
$$\eqalign{
& {\text{Banker's}}\,{\text{Gain}} \cr
& = \frac{{{{\left( {T.D.} \right)}^2}}}{{P.W.}} \cr
& = \frac{{{{\left( {120} \right)}^2}}}{{2400}} \cr
& = \frac{{14400}}{{2400}} \cr
& = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\,6 \cr} $$
Question 15. What is the banker’s discount, if the true discount on a bill of Rs. 840 is Rs.105?
  1.    Rs. 100
  2.    Rs. 110
  3.    Rs. 120
  4.    Rs. 130
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Rs. 120
Present Worth (P.W.) = 840 - 105 = Rs. 735
Therefore, S.I. on Rs. 735 = Rs. 105
S.I. on Rs. 8400
= $$\frac{{105 \times 840}}{{735}}$$
= Rs. 120
Question 16. What rate present does a man get for his money when in discounting a bill due 10 months hence he deducts 10% of the amount of the bill ?
  1.    $$12\frac{1}{2}\,\% $$
  2.    $$13\frac{1}{5}\,\% $$
  3.    $$13\frac{1}{3}\,\% $$
  4.    $$13\frac{3}{7}\,\% $$
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> $$13\frac{1}{3}\,\% $$
Let amount of the bill = Rs. 100. Money deducted = Rs. 10
Money received by the holder of the bill = Rs. (110 - 10) = Rs. 90
∴ S.I. on Rs. 90 for 10 months = Rs. 10
$$\eqalign{
& \therefore {\text{Rate}} = \left( {\frac{{100 \times 10}}{{90 \times \frac{{10}}{{12}}}}} \right)\% \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = 13\frac{1}{3}\,\% \cr} $$
Question 17. The banker's gain on a bill due 1 year hence at 10% per annum is Rs. 20. What is the true discount?
  1.    Rs. 200
  2.    Rs. 100
  3.    Rs. 150
  4.    Rs. 250
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Rs. 200
$$\eqalign{
& TD = \frac{{BG \times 100}}{{TR}} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = \frac{{20 \times 100}}{{10}} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\,200 \cr} $$
Question 18. The B.D. and T.D. on a certain sum is Rs. 200 and Rs. 100 respectively. Find out the sum.
  1.    Rs. 400
  2.    Rs. 300
  3.    Rs. 100
  4.    Rs. 200
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Rs. 200
$$\eqalign{
& F = \frac{{BD \times TD}}{{BD - TD}} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = \frac{{200 \times 100}}{{200 - 100}} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = \frac{{200 \times 100}}{{100}} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\,200 \cr} $$
Question 19. The bankers discount and the true discount of a sum at 10% per annum simple interest for the same time are Rs. 100 and Rs. 80 respectively. What is the sum and the time?
  1.    Sum = Rs. 400 and Time = 5 years
  2.    Sum = Rs. 200 and Time = 2.5 years
  3.    Sum = Rs. 400 and Time = 2.5 years
  4.    Sum = Rs. 200 and Time = 5 years
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Sum = Rs. 400 and Time = 2.5 years
$$\eqalign{
& BD = {\text{Rs}}.100 \cr
& TD = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\,80 \cr
& R = 10\% \cr
& F{\text{ = }}\frac{{BD \times TD}}{{(BD - TD)}} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\, = \frac{{100 \times 80}}{{(100 - 80)}} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\, = \frac{{100 \times 80}}{{20}} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\, = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\,400 \cr} $$
BD = Simple Interest on the face value of the bill for unexpired time = $$\frac{{FTR}}{{100}}$$
$$\eqalign{
& \Rightarrow 100 = \frac{{400 \times T \times 10}}{{100}} \cr
& \Rightarrow 100 = 4 \times T \times 10 \cr
& \Rightarrow 10 = 4 \times T \cr
& \Rightarrow T = \frac{{10}}{4} = 2.5{\text{years}} \cr} $$
Question 20. The banker's gain of a certain sum due 3 years hence at 10% per annum is Rs. 36. What is the present worth ?
  1.    Rs. 400
  2.    Rs. 300
  3.    Rs. 500
  4.    Rs. 350
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Rs. 400
$$\eqalign{
& {\text{T}} = 3\,{\text{year}} \cr
& {\text{R}} = {\text{10}}\% \cr
& {\text{TD = }}\frac{{{\text{BG}} \times 100}}{{{\text{TR}}}} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = \frac{{36 \times 100}}{{3 \times 10}} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = 12 \times 10 \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}120 \cr
& {\text{TD = }}\frac{{{\text{PW}} \times {\text{TR}}}}{{100}} \cr
& \Rightarrow 120 = \frac{{{\text{PW}} \times 3 \times 10}}{{100}} \cr
& \Rightarrow 1200 = {\text{PW}} \times 3 \cr
& {\text{PW}} = \frac{{1200}}{3} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,{\text{ = Rs}}{\text{.}}400 \cr} $$
