Sum =( S.I * T.D )/(S.I - T.D)=( 240 * 160 )/(240-160)=480
Q 2 - The true discount on Rs. 5124 due 2 months hence is Rs. 244. The rate percent is:
Answer : D
Explanation
Present worth = Rs. (5124 - 244) = Rs. 4880. S.I. on Rs. 4880 for 2 months is Rs. 244. R=( 100*TD)/PW*T=( 100*244)/(4880*(2/12)) =30%
Q 3 - The present worth of a sum due sometime hence is Rs. 1024 and the banker's gain is Rs.64. The true discount is:

T.D. = √(P.W.x B.G.) =√(1024x64.) =Rs. 256
Q 4 - Ramesh has to pay Rs. 440 to Suresh after 1 year. Suresh asks Ramesh to pay Rs. 220 in cash and defer the payment of Rs. 220 for 2 years. Ramesh agrees to it. If the rate of interest be 10% per annum, in this mode of payment:
Answer : A
Explanation
Ramesh has to pay = Present worth of Rs. 440 due 1 year hence =Rs. 440 * 100/( 100+(10*1))=Rs. 400. Ramesh actually pays = Rs. 220 + Present worth of Rs. 220 due 2 year hence =220+220*100/( 100+(10*2))=403.33 So Ramesh Loss = Rs. (400-403.33) = Rs. 3.33

Answer : B
Explanation
Present worth of 25,760 due 6 months hence=25760*100/( 100+(20*6/12))=Rs. 23418 So he should take cash.
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 bought dairy animals for Rs 3000 in real money and sold it that day for Rs 3660 due 2 years consequently. In the event that the rate of hobby is 10% p.a., the man picks up:
Answer : D
Explanation
C.P. = Rs 3000 S.P. = P.W. of Rs 3660 due years hence = Rs ((100*3660))/(100+(10*2))=Rs ((100*3660))/120 = Rs 3050 ∴ Gain% = (50/3000*100)% = 5/3%
Q 9 - On the off chance that Rs 10 be permitted as genuine rebate on a bill of Rs 110 due toward the end of a sure time, then the markdown permitted on the same total due toward the end of twofold the time is:
Answer : C
Explanation
S.I. on Rs (110-10) for a fixed time = Rs. 10 S.I. on Rs. 100 for double the time Rs. = 20 T.D. on Rs 120- Rs 20 T.D. on Rs 110 = Rs (20/120*100) = Rs 55/3 = Rs. 18.33
Q 10 - A needs to pay Rs 1573 to B following 11/2 years and B needs to pay Rs 1444.50 to A following 6 months. In the event that the rate of hobby is 14% for each annum and both need to settle the record at this time, who will pay to the next and what amount?
