A bill for Rs. 6000 is drawn on July 14 at 5 months. It is discounted on 5th October at 10%. Find the banker's discount, true discount, banker's gain and the money that the holder of the bill receives.

Correct Answer: 5880

Explanation:

Face value of the bill = Rs. 6000.


Date on which the bill was drawn = July 14 at 5 months. Nominally due date =                  December 14.


Legally due date = December 17.


Date on which the bill was discounted = October 5.


Unexpired time  : Oct.               Nov.                Dec.


                                 26  +               30  +              17     = 73 days  =1/ 5Years


 


 B.D. = S.I. on Rs. 6000 for 1/5 year


= Rs.   (6000 x 10 x1/5 x1/100)= Rs. 120.


T.D. = Rs.[(6000 x 10 x1/5)/(100+(10*1/5))]


            =Rs.(12000/102)=Rs. 117.64.


B.G. = (B.D.) - (T.D.) = Rs. (120 - 117.64) = Rs. 2.36.


Money received by the holder of the bill = Rs. (6000 - 120) = Rs. 5880.
