Question 21. The banker's gain on a sum due 6 years hence at 12% per annum is Rs. 540. What is the banker's discount?
  1.    1240
  2.    1120
  3.    1190
  4.    1290
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 1290
$$\eqalign{
& TD = \frac{{BG{\text{ }} \times 100}}{{TR}} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = \frac{{540 \times 100}}{{6 \times 12}} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = \frac{{90 \times 100}}{{12}} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = \frac{{15 \times 100}}{2} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\,750 \cr
& BG = BD - TD \cr
& \Rightarrow 540 = BD - 750 \cr
& \Rightarrow BD = 540 + 750 \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = 1290 \cr} $$
Question 22. A bill for Rs. 3000 is drawn on 14th July at 5 months. It is discounted on 5th October at 10%. What is the Banker's Discount?
  1.    Rs. 60
  2.    Rs. 82
  3.    Rs. 90
  4.    Rs. 120
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Rs. 60
F = Rs. 3000
R = 10%
Date on which the bill is drawn = 14th July at 5 months
Nominally Due Date = 14th December
Legally Due Date = 14th December + 3 days = 17th December
Date on which the bill is discounted = 5th October
Unexpired Time
= [6th to 31th of October] + [30 Days in November] + [1th to 17th of December]
= 26 + 30 + 17
= 73 Days
$$\eqalign{
& = \frac{{73}}{{365}}\,{\text{year}} \cr
& {\text{ = }}\frac{1}{5}\,{\text{year}} \cr} $$
Banker's Discount = Simple Interest on the face value of the bill for unexpired time = $$\frac{{{\text{FTR}}}}{{100}}$$
$$\eqalign{
& = \frac{{3000 \times \frac{1}{5} \times 10}}{{100}} \cr
& = 30 \times \frac{1}{5} \times 10 \cr
& = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\,60 \cr} $$
Question 23. The present worth of a certain bill due sometime hence is Rs. 400 and the true discount is Rs. 20. What is the banker's discount?
  1.    Rs. 19
  2.    Rs. 22
  3.    Rs. 20
  4.    Rs. 21
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Rs. 21
$$\eqalign{
& BG = \frac{{{{(TD)}^2}}}{{PW}} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = \frac{{{{20}^2}}}{{400}} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\,1 \cr
& BG = BD - TD \cr
& \Rightarrow 1 = BD - 20 \cr
& \Rightarrow BD = 1 + 20 \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\,21 \cr} $$
Question 24. What is the present worth of a bill of Rs. 1764 due 2 years hence at 5% compound interest is
  1.    Rs. 1600
  2.    Rs. 1200
  3.    Rs. 1800
  4.    Rs. 1400
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Rs. 1600
Since the compound interest is taken here,
$$\eqalign{
& PW{\text{ }}{\left( {1 + \frac{5}{{100}}} \right)^2} = 1764 \cr
& PW\,{\left( {1 + \frac{1}{{20}}} \right)^2} = 1764 \cr
& PW\,{\left( {\frac{{21}}{{20}}} \right)^2} = 1764 \cr
& PW \times \frac{{441}}{{400}} = 1764 \cr
& \Rightarrow PW = \frac{{1764 \times 400}}{{441}} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = 4 \times 400 \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\,1600 \cr} $$
Question 25. What is the difference between the banker's discount and the true discount on Rs. 8100 for 3 months at 5%
  1.    Rs. 2
  2.    Rs. 1.25
  3.    Rs. 2.25
  4.    Rs. 0.5
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Rs. 1.25
$$\eqalign{
& F = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\,8100 \cr
& R = 5\% \cr
& T = 3\,{\text{months}} = \frac{1}{4}\,{\text{years}} \cr
& BD = \frac{{FTR}}{{100}} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = \frac{{8100 \times \frac{1}{4} \times 5}}{{100}} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = \frac{{2025}}{{20}} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = \frac{{405}}{4} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = {\text{ Rs}}{\text{.}}\,101.25 \cr
& TD = \frac{{FTR}}{{100 + (TR)}} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = \frac{{8100 \times \frac{1}{4} \times 5}}{{100 + \left( {\frac{1}{4} \times 5} \right)}} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = \frac{{2025 \times 5}}{{100 + \left( {\frac{5}{4}} \right)}} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = \frac{{2025 \times 5 \times 4}}{{400 + 5}} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = \frac{{2025 \times 5 \times 4}}{{405}} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = \frac{{405 \times 5 \times 4}}{{81}} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = \frac{{45 \times 5 \times 4}}{9} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = 5 \times 5 \times 4 \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\,100 \cr
& BD - TD = \,101.25 - 100 \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\,1.25 \cr} $$
Question 26. The banker's discount on a sum of money for 3 years is Rs. 1116. The true discount on the same sum for 4 years is Rs. 1200. What is the rate per cent?
  1.    8%
  2.    12%
  3.    10%
  4.    6%
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 6%
$$\eqalign{
& BD\,{\text{for}}\,3\,{\text{years}} = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\,1116 \cr
& BD\,{\text{for}}\,4\,{\text{years}} = \frac{{1116}}{3} \times 4 \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = {\text{Rs}}{\text{. }}1488 \cr
& TD\,{\text{for}}\,4\,{\text{years}} = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\,1200 \cr
& F = \frac{{BD \times TD}}{{BD - TD}} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\, = \frac{{1488 \times 1200}}{{1488 - 1200}} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\, = \frac{{1488 \times 1200}}{{288}} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\, = \frac{{124 \times 1200}}{{24}} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\, = \frac{{124 \times 100}}{2} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\, = 62 \times 100 \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\, = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\,6200 \cr} $$
⇒ Rs. 1488 is the simple interest on Rs. 6200 for 4 years
$$\eqalign{
& \Rightarrow 1488 = \frac{{6200 \times 4 \times R}}{{100}} \cr
& \Rightarrow R = \frac{{1488 \times 100}}{{6200 \times 4}} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = \frac{{372 \times 100}}{{6200}} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = \frac{{372}}{{62}} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = 6\% \cr} $$
Question 27. The banker's discount on a bill due 6 months hence at 6% is Rs. 18.54. What is the true discount?
  1.    Rs. 24
  2.    Rs. 12
  3.    Rs. 36
  4.    Rs. 18
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Rs. 18
$$\eqalign{
& T = 6{\text{ months}} = \frac{1}{2}{\text{year}} \cr
& R = 6\% \cr
& TD = \frac{{BD \times 100}}{{100 + TR}} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = \frac{{18.54 \times 100}}{{100 + \left( {\frac{1}{2} \times 6} \right)}} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = \frac{{18.54 \times 100}}{{103}} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = \frac{{1854}}{{103}} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\,18 \cr} $$
Question 28. The present worth of a certain bill due sometime hence is Rs. 400 and the true discount is Rs. 20. What is the banker's discount?
  1.    Rs. 19
  2.    Rs. 22
  3.    Rs. 20
  4.    Rs. 21
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Rs. 21
$$\eqalign{
& BG = \frac{{{{(TD)}^2}}}{{PW}} = \frac{{{{20}^2}}}{{400}} = {\text{Rs}}{\text{. }}1 \cr
& BG = BD - TD \cr
& \Rightarrow 1 = BD - 20 \cr
& \Rightarrow BD = 1 + 21 \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\,21 \cr} $$
Question 29. The present worth of a sum due sometimes hence is Rs.5760 and the baker's gain is Rs.10. What is the true discount?
  1.    Rs. 480
  2.    Rs. 420
  3.    Rs. 120
  4.    Rs. 240
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Rs. 240
$$\eqalign{
& TD = \sqrt {PW \times BG} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = \sqrt {5760 \times 10} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = \sqrt {57600} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = {\text{Rs}}{\text{. }}240 \cr} $$
Question 30. The banker's discount and the true discount on a sum of money due 8 months hence are Rs. 120 and Rs. 110 respectively. Find the rate percent.
  1.    $$\frac{{120}}{{11}}\,\% $$
  2.    $$\frac{{130}}{{11}}\,\% $$
  3.    $$\frac{{140}}{{11}}\,\% $$
  4.    $$\frac{{150}}{{11}}\,\% $$
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> $$\frac{{150}}{{11}}\,\% $$
$$\eqalign{
& {\text{Sum}} = \frac{{B.D. \times T.D.}}{{B.D. - T.D.}} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\,\frac{{120 \times 110}}{{120 - 110}} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\,1320 \cr} $$
Since B.D. is S.I. on sum due, so S.I. on Rs. 1320 for 8 months is Rs. 120.
$$\eqalign{
& {\text{Rate}} = \frac{{100 \times 120}}{{1320 \times \frac{2}{3}}}\,\% \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = \frac{{150}}{{11}}\,\% \cr} $$
