Answer: Option B. -> 1320
$$\eqalign{
& {\text{Sum}} = \frac{{B.D. \times T.D.}}{{B.D. - T.D.}} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = \frac{{120 \times 110}}{{120 - 110}} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = 1320 \cr} $$
Question 42. The bankers discount on Rs. 1800 at 12% per annum is equal to the true discount on Rs 1872 for the same time at the same rate. Find the time.
  1.    4 months
  2.    5 months
  3.    6 months
  4.    3 months
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 4 months
S.I. on Rs. 1800 = T.D. on Rs. 1872
P.W. of Rs. 1872 is Rs. 1800
Rs. 72 is S.I. on Rs. 1800 at 12%
$$\eqalign{
& {\text{Time}} = \frac{{100 \times 72}}{{12 \times 1800}} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = \frac{1}{3}\,{\text{years}} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = 4\,{\text{months}} \cr} $$
Question 43. The true discount on a bill of Rs. 2160 is Rs. 360. What is the banker's discount?
  1.    Rs. 432
  2.    Rs. 422
  3.    Rs. 412
  4.    Rs. 442
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Rs. 432
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
$$\eqalign{
& = \frac{{360}}{{1800}} \times 2160 \cr
& = \frac{1}{5} \times 2160 \cr
& = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\,432 \cr} $$
Question 44. The banker's discount on Rs. 1650 due a certain time hence is Rs. 165. Find the true discount and the banker's gain
  1.    15
  2.    20
  3.    18
  4.    13
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 15
$$\eqalign{
& {\text{Sum}} = \frac{{B.D. \times T.D.}}{{B.D. - T.D.}} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = \frac{{B.D. \times T.D.}}{{B.G.}} \cr
& \frac{{T.D.}}{{B.G.}} = \frac{{{\text{Sum}}}}{{B.D.}} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = \frac{{1650}}{{165}} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = 10 \cr} $$
Thus, if B.G. is Rs. 1, T.D. = Rs. 10
If B.D. is Rs. 11, T.D. = Rs. 10
If B.D. is Rs. 165,
$$\eqalign{
& T.D. = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\,\frac{{10}}{{11}} \times 165 \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\,150 \cr} $$
And, B.G. = Rs. (165 - 150) = Rs. 15
Question 45. A bill for Rs. 6000 is drawn on July 14 at 5 months. It is discounted on 5th October at 10%. Find the banker's discount, true discount, banker's gain and the money that the holder of the bill receives.
  1.    4390
  2.    6580
  3.    5880
  4.    5350
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 5880
Face value of the bill = Rs. 6000
Date on which the bill was drawn = July 14 at 5 months
Nominally due date = December 14
Legally due date = December 17
Date on which the bill was discounted = October 5
Unexpired time :
Oct.   Nov.   Dec.
26   +   30   +   17 = 73 days = $$\frac{1}{5}$$ Years
B.D. = S.I. on Rs. 6000 for $$\frac{1}{5}$$ year
$$\eqalign{
& = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\,\left( {6000 \times 10 \times \frac{1}{5} \times \frac{1}{{100}}} \right) \cr
& = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\,120 \cr
& {\text{T}}{\text{.D}}{\text{.}} = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\,\left[ {\frac{{6000 \times 10 \times \frac{1}{5}}}{{100 + \left( {10 \times \frac{1}{5}} \right)}}} \right] \cr
& = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\,\frac{{12000}}{{102}} \cr
& = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\,117.64 \cr} $$
B.G. = B.D. - T.D. = Rs. 120 - 117.64 = Rs. 2.36
Money received by the holder of the bill = Rs. 6000 - 120 = Rs. 5880
Question 46. A bill is discounted at 10% per annum. If banker's discount is allowed, at what rate percent should the proceeds be invested so that nothing will be lost?
  1.    $$10\frac{1}{9}\,\% $$
  2.    $$11\frac{1}{9}\,\% $$
  3.    $$11\,\% $$
  4.    $$10\frac{2}{9}\,\% $$
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> $$11\frac{1}{9}\,\% $$
Let the amount = Rs. 100
Then BD = Rs.10 (∵ banker's discount, BD is the simple Interest on the face value of the bill for unexpired time and bill is discounted at 10% per annum)
Proceeds = Rs. 100 - Rs. 10 = Rs. 90
Hence we should get Rs. 10 as the interest of Rs. 90 for 1 year so that nothing will be lost
$$\eqalign{
& \Rightarrow 10 = \frac{{90 \times 1 \times R}}{{100}} \cr
& \Rightarrow R = \frac{{10 \times 100}}{{90}} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = \frac{{100}}{9} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = 11\frac{1}{9}\,\% \cr} $$
Question 47. The banker's gain on a sum due 3 years hence at 12% per annum is Rs. 360. The banker's discount is:
  1.    Rs. 1360
  2.    Rs. 1000
  3.    Rs. 360
  4.    Rs. 640
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Rs. 1360
BG = Rs. 360
T = 3 years
R = 12%
$$\eqalign{
& TD = \frac{{BG \times 100}}{{TR}} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = \frac{{360 \times 100}}{{3 \times 12}} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = {\text{Rs}}{\text{. }}1000 \cr} $$
BG = BD - TD
⇒ BD = BG + TD = 360 + 1000 = Rs. 1360
Question 48. If the discount on Rs. 498 at 5% simple interest is Rs.18, when is the sum due?
  1.    8 months
  2.    11 months
  3.    10 months
  4.    9 months
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> 9 months
F = Rs. 498
TD = Rs. 18
PW = F - TD = 498 - 18 = Rs. 480
R = 5%
$$\eqalign{
& TD = \frac{{PW \times TR}}{{100}} \cr
& \Rightarrow 18 = \frac{{480 \times T \times 5}}{{100}} \cr
& \Rightarrow 18 = 24 \times T{\text{ }} \cr
& \Rightarrow {\text{ }}T{\text{ }} = \frac{{18}}{{24}} = \frac{3}{4}{\text{ years}} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = \frac{{12 \times 3}}{4}{\text{ months}} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,{\text{ = 9 months}} \cr} $$
Question 49. The banker's discount of a certain sum of money is Rs. 36 and the true discount on the same sum for the same time is Rs. 30. What is the sum due?
  1.    Rs. 180
  2.    Rs. 120
  3.    Rs. 220
  4.    Rs. 200
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Rs. 180
$$\eqalign{
& F = \frac{{BD \times TD}}{{(BD - TD)}} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\, = \frac{{36 \times 30}}{{(36 - 30)}} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\, = \frac{{36 \times 30}}{6} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\, = 36 \times 5 \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\, = {\text{ Rs}}{\text{. }}180 \cr} $$
Question 50. The Banker Gain on a certain sum 4 years hence at 5% is Rs. 200. What is the present worth?
  1.    Rs. 4500
  2.    Rs. 6000
  3.    Rs. 5000
  4.    Rs. 4000
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Rs. 5000
T = 4 years
R = 5%
Banker's Gain, BG = Rs. 200
$$\eqalign{
& TD = \frac{{BG \times 100}}{{TR}} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = \frac{{200 \times 100}}{{4 \times 5}} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = {\text{Rs}}{\text{.}}\,1000 \cr
& \cr
& TD = \sqrt {PW \times BG} \cr
& 1000 = \sqrt {PW \times 200} \cr
& 1000000 = PW \times 200 \cr
& PW = \frac{{1000000}}{{200}} \cr
& \,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\,\, = {\text{Rs}}{\text{. }}5000 \cr} $$
