  • Question
  • A banker's paid 5767.50 for a bill of Rs. 5840, drawn on April 4 at 6 months. On what day was the bill discounted the rate of interest being 7%?


  • Options
  • A. 3rd Aug.
  • B. 4th Aug.
  • C. 3rd Sep.
  • D. 3rd July

  • Correct Answer
  • 3rd Aug. 

    Explanation

    B.D. = Rs. (5840 - 5767.20) = Rs. 72.80
    Rs. 72.80 is S.I. on Rs. 5840 at 7%
    So, Unexpired time = (100 x 72.80) / (7 x 5840) = 13/73 years = 65 days.
    Now, date of draw o bill = April, 4 at 6 months.
    Nominally due date = October 4.
    Legally due date = October 7
    So, we must go back 65 days from October 7.
    Oct., sept., Aug. = 7 + 30 + 28
    i.e., The bill was discounted on 3rd August.
