  • Question
  • The banker's discount on a bill due 4 months hence at 15 % is Rs. 420. What is the true discount?


  • Options
  • A. Rs. 410
  • B. Rs. 400
  • C. Rs. 390
  • D. Rs. 380

  • Correct Answer
  • Rs. 400 

    Explanation

    Given in the question,
    Banker's Discount = 420
    Time in years = 4 months = 4/12 years = 1/3 years
    Rate of interest = 15 %
    As we know the formula,
    True Discount = Banker's Discount × 100 (100 + Time in years x Rate of interest )

    True Discount = 420 × 100 (100 + 4/12 × 15) ( 12 Months = 1 Year)
    = 420 × 100 (100 + 5) = 400
