  1. $ 20 is the true discount on $ 260 due after a certain time. What will be the true discount on the same amount due after half of the earlier time, the rate of interest being the same.
    1. $ 10
    2. $ 10.40
    3. $ 15.20
    4. $ 13
Correct Option: B

S.I. on $ 240 for a given time = $ 20
S.I. on $ 240 for half the time = $ 10
∴ $ 10 is T.D. on $ 250

So, T.D. on $ 260 = $ 10 x 260 = 10.40 .
250
