  • Question

  • If Rs. 40 be allowed as true discount on a bill of Rs. 440 at the end of a certain time, then the discount allowed on the same sum due at the end of double the time is Rs.?


  • Options
  • A. 72.80
  • B. 73.32
  • C. 72.00
  • D. 73.20

  • Correct Answer
  • 72.00 

    Explanation

    As we know that ,
    Present worth = Amount ? True Discount = 110 ? 10 = Rs. 100
    SI on Rs. 100 for a certain time = Rs. 10
    SI on Rs. 100 for double the time = Rs. 20
    True Discount on Rs. 120 = 120 ? 100 = Rs. 20
    True Discount on Rs. 1 = 20/120
    True Discount on Rs. 440 = 20 x 440/120 = 20 x 44/12 = 20 x 22 / 6 = 440 /6 = 73.2
