2 years
4 years
6 years
3 years

44272.The True Discount on a certain sum of money due 3 years hence is Rs.250 and SimpeInterest on the same sum for same time and same rate is Rs375. Find sum and rate%?
(16 + 4/3)%
(16 +1/3)%
(16 + 5/3)%
(16 + 2/3)%
Explanation:
sum = [(S.I x T.D)/(S.I-T.D)]
= Rs. [(375 x 250)/(375-250)]
= Rs.750

Rate = (100 x 375)/(750 x 3) =16(2/3) %
44273.Find the present worth of Rs.930 due 3 years hence at 8% per annum.Aso find the discount?
186
180
185
189
Explanation:
P.W = [100 x Amount] / [100+(R x T)]
=[100 x 930] / [100+(8x3)] = Rs. 750
T.D = Amount - P.W = 930 - 750 = Rs.180
44274.Find the present worth of a bill of Rs.28000 due 2 years at 12% compound interest. Also find the true discount.

= Rs.2500
TD = Amount - PW = 2800 - 2500 = Rs.300
