  1. The banker’s gain of a certain sum due 3 years hence at 10 % per annum is Rs. 36. What is the present worth (PW)?
    1. Rs. 400
    2. Rs. 300
    3. Rs. 500
    4. Rs. 350
Correct Option: A

As per given question,
Present worth PW = ?
Banker gain = 36
Time = 3 years
Rate of interest R = 10 %
True Discount = ?
As we know the formula,

True Discount = Banker's Gain ×
100
Time x Rate of interest

⇒ TD = 36 ×
100
= Rs. 120
3 × 10

Apply the below formula to calculate the Present worth (PW)
True Discount = Present Worth ×
Time x Rate of Interest
100

⇒ 120 = Present Worth ×
3 × 10
⇒ Present Worth = Rs. 400
100
