Q:

# The banker's discount on a certain sum due 2 years hence is11/10of the true discount.The rate percent is:

 A) 10% B) 7% C) 8% D) 5%

Explanation:

Let T.D. be Re. 1.

Then, B.D. = Rs.11/10= Rs. 1.10.

Sum = Rs. (1.10*1)/(1.10-1) = Rs. (110/10)= Rs. 11.

S.I. on Rs. 11 for 2 years is Rs. 1.10

Rate = [(100 x 1.10)/(11 x 2 )]% = 5%.

Q:

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?

 A) Sum = Rs.400 and Time = 5 years B) Sum = Rs.200 and Time = 2.5 years C) Sum = Rs.400 and Time = 2.5 years D) Sum = Rs.200 and Time = 5 years

Answer & Explanation Answer: C) Sum = Rs.400 and Time = 2.5 years

Explanation:

BD = Rs.100

TD = Rs.80

R = 10%

$F=BD×TDBD-TD=100×80100-80=Rs.400$

BD = Simple interest on the face value of the bill for unexpired time= FTR/100

$⇒100=400×T×10100$

=> T = 2.5 years

Q:

If the discount on Rs. 498 at 5% simple interest is Rs.18, when is the sum due?

 A) 8 months B) 11 months C) 10 months D) 9 months

Explanation:

F = Rs. 498

TD = Rs. 18

PW = F - TD = 498 - 18 = Rs. 480

R = 5%

$TD=PW×TR100$

$⇒18=480×T×5100$

=> T = 3/4 years = 9 months

Q:

What is the difference between the banker's discount and the true discount on Rs.8100 for 3 months at 5%

 A) Rs. 2 B) Rs. 1.25 C) Rs. 2.25 D) Rs. 0.5

Explanation:

F = Rs. 8100

R = 5%

T = 3 months = 1/4 years

$BD=FTR100=8100×14×5100=Rs.101.25$

$TD=FTR100+TR=8100×14×5100+14×5=Rs.100$

Therefore BD - TD = 101.25-100 = Rs.1.25

The B.G. on a certain sum 4 years hence at 5% is Rs. 200. What is the present worth?

 A) Rs. 4500 B) Rs. 6000 C) Rs. 5000 D) Rs. 4000

Explanation:

T = 4 years

R = 5%

Banker's Gain, BG = Rs.200

$TD=PW×BG$

$⇒1000=PW×200$

=>PW = Rs.5000

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

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
