DIRECTIONS : Problems based on Banker's Discount.
6. The banker’s gain on a sum due 3 years hence at 12% per annum is Rs. 270. The banker’s discount is
  A.  Rs.960
  B.  Rs.840
  C.  Rs.1020
  D.  Rs.760
Solution
T.D =(B.G x 100 / R x T)
= Rs.(270x100/12 x 3)
= Rs.750.
B.D
=Rs(750 + 270)
= Rs.1020.
7. The present worth of a sum due sometime hence is Rs.576 and the banker’s gain is Rs.16.The true discount is
  A.  Rs.36
  B.  Rs.72
  C.  Rs.48
  D.  Rs.96
Solution
T.D = √P.W xB.G
= √576 x 16
= 96.

8. The banker’s discount on Rs.1600 at 15% per annum is the same as true discount on Rs.1680 for the same time and at the same rate. The time is
  A.  3 months
  B.  4 months
  C.  6 months
  D.  8 months
Solution
S.I on Rs. 1600 = T.D on Rs. 1680.
Rs.1600 is the P.W of Rs.1680.
Rs.80 is S.I on Rs.1600 at 15%.
Time = (100x80 / 600x15)
= 1/3 year
= 4 months.
9. The present worth of a certain bill due sometime hence is Rs.800 and the true discount is Rs.36.The banker’s discount is
  A.  Rs.34.38
  B.  Rs.38.98
  C.  Rs.37
  D.  Rs.37.62
Solution
B.G = [(T.D)² / P. W]
= Rs. (36 x 36 / 800)
= Rs.1.62
B.D
Given, T.D =36
= (T.D + B.G)
= Rs. (36 + 1.62)
= Rs.37.62.
10. The banker's gain of a certain sum due 2 years hence at 10% per annum is Rs.24. The present worth is
  A.  Rs. 480
  B.  Rs. 520
  C.  Rs. 600
  D.  Rs. 960
Solution
T.D = (B.G x 100/Rate x Time)
= Rs.(24x100 / 10x 2)
= Rs.120.
P.W = (100 x T.D/Rate x Time)
= Rs.(100x120 / 10x 2)
= Rs.600.
