The true discount on a bill due 9 months hence at 12% per annum is Rs 540. Find the amount of the bill and its present worth?

Correct Answer: 6000

Explanation:

Let amount be Rs.x then,  


 [X * R * T] / [100 + (R * T)] = T.D  


=> [x * 12 * (3/4)] / [100+(12 * 3/4)] =540  


=> x = 6540  


Amount = Rs.6540   


P.W = Rs.(6540 -540) = Rs.6000
