The interest on Rs. 750 for 2 years is the same as the true discount on Rs. 960 due 2 years hence. If the rate of interest is the same in both cases, it is:

Correct Answer: 14%

Explanation:

S.I. on Rs. 750 = T.D. on Rs. 960.


This means P.W. of Rs. 960 due 2 years hence is Rs. 750.


∴ T.D. = Rs. (960 - 750) = Rs. 210.


Thus, S.I. on R.s 750 for 2 years is Rs. 210.



∴ Rate = 100 x 210 ❩% = 14%
750 x 2
