  1. The true discount on a certain sum of money due after 21/2 years at 6% per annum is less than the simple interest on the same sum for the same time by Rs. 81. Find the sum?
    1. Rs. 4140
    2. Rs. 4240
    3. Rs. 4150
    4. Rs. 4250
Correct Option: A

Req. amount = [81 x (100 + 6 x 5/2) x 100] / [(6 x 5/2)2]
= (8100 x 115) / 225
= Rs. 4140
Here, S.I. - T.D. = Rs. 81
