Answer : D

Sum =( S.I * T.D )/(S.I - T.D)=( 240 * 160 )/(240-160)=480
Q 2 - Rs. 40 is the true discount on Rs. 520 due after a certain time. What will be the true discount on the same sum due after half of the former time, the rate of interest being the same?
Answer : C
Explanation
S.I. on Rs. (520 - 40) for a given time = Rs. 40. S.I. on Rs. 480 for half the time = Rs. 20. T.D. on Rs. 500 = Rs. 20 T.D. on Rs. 520 =Rs. ( 20/480 * 520)= Rs. 21.66
Q 3 - The banker's gain on a bill due 3 year hence at 6% per annum is Rs. 18. The true discount is:
Answer : A
Explanation
T.D=(B.G * 100)/( R * T) = 18 * 100/( 6 * 3) = Rs. 100
Q 4 - The true discount on a bill of Rs. 360 is Rs. 60. The banker's discount is:
Answer : A
Explanation
P.W.=Rs.(360-60)=Rs.300 SI on Rs.300 =Rs.60 SI on Rs.360 =Rs. (60/300) * 360=Rs.72 B.D. = Rs.72
Q 5 - The difference between a discount of 20% on Rs. 1000 and two successive discounts of 16% and 4% on the same amount is
Answer : B
Explanation
First discount of 20% on 1000=Rs. 200 Second discount = (16% of 1000)+(4% of 84% of 1000) = (160) + ( 4/100 x 84/100 *1000) =Rs. 193.6 Difference=Rs. (200-193.6) =Rs.6.4.
Q 6 - The genuine markdown on an aggregate due 3 years consequently at 8% p.a. is Rs 252. The total due is:
Answer : C
Explanation
P.W. = (100*T.D.)/(R*T) = Rs ((100*252))/((8*3)) = Rs 1050 Sum due = (P.W.)+(T.D.) = Rs (1050+252) = Rs 1302
Q 7 - The genuine rebate on Rs 2580 due after some time at 6% p.a. is Rs 180. After what amount of time is the aggregate due?
Answer : C
Explanation
P.W. = Rs (2580-180) = Rs. 2400 S.I. on Rs 2400 at 6% p.a. is Rs. 180 ∴ Time = ((100*180))/((2400*6)) years =5/4 years = 1 year 3 months.
Q 8 - A man needs to offer his old bike. He has two clients. One of them needs to pay Rs 12000 in trade and the other out Rs 13500 payable following 8 months. On the off chance that the rate of hobby is 12% for every annum, which alternative is better for the dealer?
Answer : B
Explanation
Cash payment = Rs 12000 P.W. of Rs. 13500 payable after 8 months = Rs ((100*3500))/(100+(12*8/12) ) = Rs ((100*13500))/108=Rs 12500 ∴ Rs 13500 payable after 8 months is a better offer
Q 9 - I purchased a bike for Rs 1056 in real money and sold it around the same time for Rs 1296 payable following 6 months. On the off chance that the rate of hobby is 12% p.a., what amount was my addition?
Answer : C
Explanation
C.P. = Rs 1056 S.P. = P.W. of Rs 1296 due 6 months hence = Rs. (100*1296)/(100+(12*1/2) ) = Rs ((100*1296))/106= 1200 ∴ Profit = Rs (1200-1056) = Rs 144 Gain% = (144/1056*100)% = 13.6%
