B.G. = (T.D.)2/ P.W. = Rs.[(110*110)/ 1100] = Rs. 11.
B.D.= (T.D. + B.G.) = Rs. (110 + 11) = Rs. 121.

( 3 ) The banker's gain of a certain sum due 3 years hence at 10% per annum is Rs. 27. The present worth is:
- 1) Rs. 480
- 2) Rs. 520
- 3) Rs. 300
- 4) Rs. 960

Show Answer Report Discussion in forumAnswer : 3) Rs. 300
Solution : T = 3 years
R = 10%
TD = BG * 100/TR = 27*100/3*10 = 9*10 = Rs. 90
TD = PW * TR/100
=> 90 = PW *3*10/100
=> 900 = PW *3
PW = 900/3 = Rs. 300

Solution : Amount = Rs. 1860.
True discount = Rs. 60
∴ Present worth = Rs. 1860 - Rs. 60 = Rs. 1800
S.I. on Rs. 1800 for 8 months = Rs. 60
∴ Rate = [(100 * 60) / (1800 * 2/3)]% = 5%
∴ Banker's discount = (1860 * 5 * 2/3)/100 = Rs. 62

Show Answer Report Discussion in forumAnswer : 1) Rs. 1300, 6%
Solution : Sum = (B.D. * T.D.) / (B.D - T.D.) = (52 * 50) / 2 = Rs. 1300
Since B.D. is S.I. on sum due, so S.I. on Rs. 1300 for 8 months is Rs. 52 consequently.
Rate = [(100 * 52)] / [1300 * (2/3)] % = 6%

( 9 ) A bill is discounted at 5% per annum. If banker's discount be allowed, at what rate per cent must the proceeds be invested, so that nothing may be lost ?
- 1) 5%
- 2) 4.90%
- 3) 5.26%
- 4) 10%
-
Show Answer Report Discussion in forumAnswer : 3) 5.26%
Solution : Let the sum be Rs. 100. Then, B.D = Rs. 5.
Proceeds = Rs. (100 - 5) = Rs. 95.
∴ Rs. 5 must be the interest on Rs. 95 for 1 year.
So, rate = (100 * 5) / (95 * 1) = 5 5/19%

- 1) 3rd Aug
- 2) 4th Aug.
- 3) 3rd Sep
- 4) 3rd July
-
Show Answer Report Discussion in forumAnswer : 1) 3rd Aug
Solution : B.D. = Rs. (5840 - 5767.20) = Rs. 72.80
Rs. 72.80 is S.I. on Rs. 5840 at 7%
So, Unexpired time = (100 * 72.80) / (7 * 5840) = 13/73 years = 65 days.
Now, date of draw o bill = April, 4 at 6 months.
Nominally due date = October 4.
Legally due date = October 7
So, we must go back 65 days from October 7.
Oct., sept., Aug. = 7 + 30 + 28
i.e., The bill was discounted on 3rd August.
