The true discount on a bill due 9 months hence at 16% per annum is Rs. 189. The amount of the bill is:

Rs. 1386
Rs. 1764
Rs. 1575
Rs. 2268

Correct Answer: Rs. 1764

Explanation:

Let P.W. be Rs. x.

Then, S.I. on Rs. x at 16% for 9 months = Rs. 189.

∴ x x 16 x	9	x	1	= 189 or x = 1575.
	12		100

∴ P.W. = Rs. 1575.

∴ Sum due = P.W. + T.D. = Rs. (1575 + 189) = Rs. 1764.
