Difficulty: Easy
Correct Answer: Rs. 108
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:
Face value F and TD are known; we can find x from TD = F * x / (1 + x) and then compute BD via BD = F * x or BD = (1 + x) * TD. This is a straightforward algebraic step.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:
Use the TD identity to solve for x, then compute BD = F * x. This avoids finding r and t separately.
Step-by-Step Solution:
Verification / Alternative check:
BD = (1 + x)*TD = 1.2 * 90 = ₹108; consistent.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
₹60, ₹110, ₹150 do not satisfy the derived x = 0.2 simultaneously with TD = 90.
Common Pitfalls:
Confusing TD and BD or forgetting that BD exceeds TD by BG = x * TD for x > 0.
Final Answer:
Rs. 108
