Q:

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.

A) 4390 B) 6580
C) 5880 D) 5350
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: C) 5880

Explanation:

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  =1/ 5Years

 

 B.D. = S.I. on Rs. 6000 for 1/5 year

= Rs.   (6000 x 10 x1/5 x1/100)= Rs. 120.

T.D. = Rs.[(6000 x 10 x1/5)/(100+(10*1/5))]

            =Rs.(12000/102)=Rs. 117.64.

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.
