This explanation is just for @Lakshmi's confusion,

Very simple, B.D stands for banker discount, a fix amount which is given by bank to its client on its deposit,

Got it @Lakshmi.

Hi All,

Here T stands for Time or Number of Years.

Why T = 1/3?

Because we can write 4 months as 1/3 years. (Ref: 4/12 = 1/3)

Hope you understand. Have a nice day guys!

How to come B.D.=(A*R*T)/100;
T.D.=(A*R*T)/[100+(R*T)];
THEN T.D.=[(A*R*T)*(100/100)]/[100+(R*T)];
T.D.=[((A*R*T)/(100))*100]/[100+(R*T)];
T.D.=BD.*100/[100+(R+T)]

Can anyone tell me a clear definition of true discount and bankers discount. I have a lot of confusion with the theory.

Please. I have to appear in a test before 19th nov.

1/3 because they said 4 months.

We know that 12months = 1 year hence,
4months = ?
Which is (4months * 1year) ÷ 12months.
Which is 1/3 year.

I = P*N*R.

Here I = Interest.

P = Capital.
N = Time.
R = Rate.

Let capital=x.

(420-x) = x*(4/12)*(15/100).

x = 400 answer.

B.G= S.I on T. D.
B.G=(T.D*R*T)/100.
B.D-T.D=(T.D*R*T)/100.
T.D+(T.D*R*T)/100=B.D.
T.D(100+R*T)/100=B.D.
T.D=B.D*100/(100+R*T).

BD=(A*R*T)/100.
TD=(A*R*T)/100+(R*T),
TD=BD*100/100+(R*T),
{BD*100= (A*R*T)/100*100}.

That's why BD*100=A*R*T.
