The bankers discount and the true discount of a sum at 10% per annum simple interest for the same time are Rs.100 and Rs.80 respectively. What is the sum and the time?

Correct Answer: Sum = Rs.400 and Time = 2.5 years

Explanation:

BD = Rs.100
TD = Rs.80
R = 10%


 


F = B D × T D B D - T D = 100 × 80 100 - 80 = R s . 400  


 


BD = Simple interest on the face value of the bill for unexpired time= FTR/100


 


100 = 400 × T × 10 100


=> T = 2.5 years
