-
- Rs. 400
- Rs. 300
- Rs. 500
- 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 × | ||
Time x Rate of interest |
⇒ TD = 36 × | = Rs. 120 | |
3 × 10 |
Apply the below formula to calculate the Present worth (PW)
True Discount = Present Worth × | ||
100 |
⇒ 120 = Present Worth × | ⇒ Present Worth = Rs. 400 | |
100 |
