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
