T.D. = √P.W. x B.G.
or B.G. = (T.D.)2/P.W. = (110 X 110) / 1100 = Rs. 11
∴ B.D. = B.G. + T.D.Correct Option: A
T.D. = √P.W. x B.G.
or B.G. = (T.D.)2/P.W. = (110 X 110) / 1100 = Rs. 11
∴ B.D. = B.G. + T.D. = Rs. (11 + 110) = Rs. 121

Let TD = N, then BD = 11N/10
Sum = (BD x TD) / (BD - TD) = [(11N/10) x N] / [11N/10 - N]
= [11N2/10] / [N/10] = 11N
SI on ₹ 11N for 4 yr is ₹ 11N/10.
∴ Rate = (100 x 11N/10)/(11N x 4)% per annumCorrect Option: A
Let TD = N, then BD = 11N/10
Sum = (BD x TD) / (BD - TD) = [(11N/10) x N] / [11N/10 - N]
= [11N2/10] / [N/10] = 11N
SI on ₹ 11N for 4 yr is ₹ 11N/10.
∴ Rate = (100 x 11N/10)/(11N x 4)% per annum
= 2.5% per annum

Face value of the bill = ₹ 10200
Date on which the bill was drawn = July 14 at 5 Months
Nominally due date = Dec. 14
Legally due date = Dec. 17
Date on which the bill was discounted = Oct. 05
Unexpired time
Oct.-26, Nov. - 30, Dec - 17 = 73 days = 73/365 yr = 1/5 yr
∴ BD = SI on ₹ 10200 for 1/5 yr
= (10200 x (10/100) x 1/5)
= ₹ 204
TD = [10200 x (1/5) x 10] / [100 + 10 x (1/5)]
= (10200 x 2)/102 = ₹ 200
BG = (BD) - (TD) = (204 - 200) = ₹ 4Correct Option: A

= ₹ 204
TD = [10200 x (1/5) x 10] / [100 + 10 x (1/5)]
= (10200 x 2)/102 = ₹ 200
BG = (BD) - (TD) = (204 - 200) = ₹ 4
Money received by the holder of the bill = ₹ (10200 - 204) = ₹ 9996

Let the sum be Rs. 100. Then, B.D = Rs. 5.
Proceeds = Rs. (100 - 5) = Rs. 95.
∴ Rs. 5 must be the interest on Rs. 95 for 1 year.Correct Option: C
Let the sum be Rs. 100. Then, B.D = Rs. 5.
Proceeds = Rs. (100 - 5) = Rs. 95.
∴ Rs. 5 must be the interest on Rs. 95 for 1 year.
So, rate = (100 x 5) / (95 x 1) = 55/19%
- The holder of a bill for Rs. 17850 nominally due on 21st May, 1991 received Rs. 357 less than the amount of the bill by having it discounted at 5%. When was it discounted ?

Clearly S.I. on Rs. 17850 at 5% is Rs. 357.
∴ Time = (100 x 357) / (17850 x 5) = 2/5 = 146 days
So, the bill is 146 days prior to 24th May, the legally due date
May, April, March, Feb., Jan.,Dec.,
= 24 + 30 + 31 + 28 + 31 + 2 = 146 daysCorrect Option: A
